Well actually, this card may be dual head, but I'm only trying to get a 
single head working, that is the CRT monitor that's plugged in. The 
other head is DVI and I don't have anything to plug there. The "Standard 
VGA" device in the XF86Config was generated by xf86config, but it's not 
actually used.

I tried with ChipID and BusID "PCI:1:0:0" and that doesn't change 
anything. If I use PCI 1, then the X server bails out with no screen 
found ( no monitor connected to the other head I guess ).


From the release notes[1], maybe could be your problem?
"Known Issues:
    * Screen is blank when launching X on RADEON X800 or FireGL X3"

Judging from the output from X, it says that your primary head is the
DVI-port, and not the CRT. For me it sounds like your problem. Hope it
helps.
