Was very impressed by XFree86 4.1 when I reconfigured my machine and
upgraded everything. Had a somewhat crufty XF86Config-4 file that I
backed up so I could try and get X to generate a nice one for
me. Detected my radeon, which I expected, and also my monitor and its
capabilities[1], which I wasn't expecting.

Cheers,

Simon
