I recently set up a LCD 1280x720 projector via DVI from a Radeon 9600 
card. I installed read-edid and XFree86 from Debian unstable and the 
latest driver rpm from ATI-com (via alien).

The DVI worked right away with no big problems but I'm struggling with 
some other issues (XV is only supported on the primary display (= DVI) 
which leads to blank screen on the TV-out).

Ciao!
