I've got the same card in my powerbook and MacModel powerbook works best.

But first i had to apply the following patch to get it to work:
diff --git a/src/radeon_driver.c b/src/radeon_driver.c
index 5c2efd3..eb7fb23 100644
--- a/src/radeon_driver.c
+++ b/src/radeon_driver.c

Michel is right though. These models have an external TDMS for DVI, but it
seems the VGA parts of the DVI connector are run of the internal one (does that
make sense?).

When using "powerbook-duallink" my DVI->VGA does work, but when
running xrandr without options or starting an app using XV the external screen
blanks momentarily.. Which is not the case when using "powerbook"
