Yeah, I understood that; I was just saying that I'd prefer another mode
if possible :)

"Both" radeons? I only have one...

OK, I tried a ViewSonic VX715 LCD, and it works! The monitor's information
panel says H Freq: 60.08kHz, V Freq: 56.36Hz, Pixel Clock: 101.42MHz,
Resolution: 1280x1024. However, the screen often blanks out for 3 or 4
seconds. I'm not sure what triggers it, but perhaps scrolling? Running
rain(6) or worms(6) doesn't do it, but paging through a file with less(1)
often will.

BTW, I'm using the 15-pin VGA connector on the Radeon and the monitor,
since I don't have an ADC to DVI adapter. The Apple Studio Display had
been connected to the ADC. dmesg with the ViewSonic attached follows:
