I didn't understand: what's the correct procedure to make VGA out
working?
Actually I use this device section:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Card0"
Driver      "radeon"
VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName   "Radeon 9200 Mobility"
Option      "UseFBDev"
Option      "AGPMode" "4"
Option      "EnablePageFlip" "On"
ChipID      0x514d
Option      "CloneMode" "1024x768"
Option "LVDSProbePLL" "true"

EndSection

with this yaboot.conf:

image=/vmlinux
        label=Linux
        root=/dev/hda4
        read-only
        append="video=radeonfb"



Must I use two monitors sections in xorg.conf?
Where can I find any useful documentation?
