DVI ouptut works with X.Org driver

[Flavio Stanchina <flavio at stanchina dot net>]

To whom it may concern,
if you read my ATI driver page thoroughly, you might already know that 
the DVI port on my Radeon 8500 LE doesn't work with the fglrx driver. 
Details are here:

You might also know that recently I switched from Debian's XFree86 to 
Ubuntu's X.Org 6.8.2-10. Well, yesterday I tried using the DVI port with 
the X.Org driver and... same problem, blank screen as soon as X starts. 
However, I thought maybe I could try once more with:

  Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS, AUTO"

...and /pronto!/, X.Org came up on the DVI port for the first time in Linux!

Encouraged by this result, I tried the fglrx driver again with the 
MonitorLayout option, hoping that something changed since the last time 
I tried, but no luck... I got a black screen again.

Matthew, Michel, you might want to look at what the X.Org radeon driver 
is doing differently...
