Just an update about this... I have now modular Xorg environment, it works
now. I'm running kde on Xorg using vesa driver.
 


1- I have used Juan's package. It compiled radeonhd 20070920 sources. It
didn't work.

2- I have got more recent sources from suse. It works perfectly if i and
only if i connect an extenal monitor too. I mean both LCD and external LCD
works. If i do not connect external monitor, Xorg fails to start.


I think there is a problem within here in code. It detects external monitor
as primary AND THEN it powers on local one.

I'm php programmer, not C+ but maybe someone has an idea to fix that... It
looks like following codes powers up monitors:


rhd_driver.c. Lines  976-1014

********************************************
    Crtc1 = rhdPtr->Crtc[0];
    Crtc2 = rhdPtr->Crtc[1];

    switch (PowerManagementMode) {
    case DPMSModeOn:
	if (Crtc1->Active) {
	    Crtc1->Power(Crtc1, RHD_POWER_ON);

	    for (Output = rhdPtr->Outputs; Output; Output = Output->Next)
		if (Output->Power && Output->Active && (Output->Crtc == Crtc1))
		    Output->Power(Output, RHD_POWER_ON);
	}

	if (Crtc2->Active) {
	    Crtc2->Power(Crtc1, RHD_POWER_ON);

		    Output->Power(Output, RHD_POWER_RESET);
	    Crtc1->Power(Crtc1, RHD_POWER_RESET);
	}

	if (Crtc2->Active) {
	    for (Output = rhdPtr->Outputs; Output; Output = Output->Next)

		    Output->Power(Output, RHD_POWER_RESET);
	    Crtc2->Power(Crtc2, RHD_POWER_RESET);
	}
	break;
    }
