>Description:
	The laptop Radeon chipset I have supports CRT's and LCD's both.
	Unfortunately, the driver can't *guess*; it needs to have "CrtScreen"
	in the XF86Config if it's to drive a CRT, and *must not* have it
	to drive an LCD.

	This is silly; if it tries the LCD, and the LCD is not available,
	*there is a detectable error condition*.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to build an XF86Config that works with and without a monitor.

>Fix:
	This is ugly beyond words, but works.  If we haven't been specifically
	told to use a CRT, we try the LCD... but if it fails in a way typical
	of a disabled device, we set the CRT flag and try again!  Works like
	a charm.  These diffs may be a couple lines off.
