I have connected my LCD-Monitor via analog D-Sub-Cable. No adapter to DVI! I
have only one monitor :-) My problem is how to tell X-Server to use
radeonhd? Should I create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Like I said before I have no
xorg.conf! The X-Server is configuring himself without xorg.conf. Also there
is no xorgconfig anymore! Should I wrote a xorg.conf manually??? I have no
plan how to do that! xorgconfig did it for me in the last distributions...
