ATI FireGL 5200 Support?

[Matthew Tippett]

The ATI proprietary drivers have support for 'big desktop'  (set via
Config setting of "DesktopMode" "Horizontal").  Look at the output of
aticonfig --help for more information.  It is in a lot of ways
functionally equivalent to mergedfb of the core XOrg drivers.

Regards,

Matthew
