I'm on herd 4, AMD_64 with ATI radeon 9600. While I've messed with the
X config using the system settings GUI, so I can't be absolutely sure,
here is the relevant section of xorg.conf.1, which I think is the
original one from the installation:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"

Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28-51
VertRefresh 43-60
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"

...so it appears that it detected the radeon correctly, but missed it on the
touchpad and monitor. Somehow, in my playing, I ended up with this monitor
definition:
Section "Monitor"
identifier "Generic Monitor"
modelname "Custom 1"
modeline "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -vsync
-hsync
modeline "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 36.0 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 +hsync
+vsync
modeline "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 40.0 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync
+vsync
modeline "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync
-hsync
modeline "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 64.995 1152 1178 1314 1472 768 771 777 806
+hsync +vsy
nc
modeline "1280x854" 80.0 1280 1309 1460 1636 854 857 864 896 +hsync +vsync
gamma 1.0
EndSection
...so I've got a better display now. The control panel GUI is telling
me its set at 1280x800, but as I look at it, xorg.conf has only 1280x854
defined, so there's some interpolation going on, and I probably could
get a clearer display if I found a modeline that matched properly.
When herd 5 comes out, I'll do a clean install again, and see if the
detection has improved.
