how to configure X11R6.8.2 on mac mini

[Andreas Fehr]

Hi

I'm lost, I'm not able to configure R6.8.2 on my mac mini. I always get 
some "(EE) RADEON(0): No valid modes found" "(EE) Screen(s) found, but 
none have a usable configuration." messages.

wiki.x.org didn't help, as I already have some mode (that's all I found 
on this problem).

Digging in Xorg.0.log I see, that X detects my graphic card "(--) 
Chipset ATI Radeon 9200 5962 (AGP) found" it loads the driver 
radeon_drv.o and some libvgahw.o. X does not detect the "Video BIOS in 
the PCI space!"

Then, things get strange, all this testing of default video mode, I have 
some video mode in my xorg.config, why doesn't X use these? Now, I'm 
lost, I tried to disable DDC (Option "DDCMode" "False") but this didn't 
help.

Now I'm stuck.... it can't be that complicate, can it?

Any help appreciated,
Andreas
