Hi Andrew,

Did you ever get this ancient (2006!) issue resolved?  I didn't see
any responses on the list, and Lara is having a sort of similar issue:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15436

I think your problem was that Linux saw the Radeon card but didn't assign
resources correctly, while in Lara's case, Linux doesn't see the card at
all.

I suspect that your problem has been resolved in the meantime and that
Lara's might be broken hardware, but if yours is still broken, I'd like
to take a look at it.

Bjorn
