Secondly I have to set the HPD option to off or the driver disables my VGA port completely.
Can you run conntest as described in the ReadMe? Once per output attached.
And last, I have a kvm that doesn't seem to load up the port properly, so the driver never even bothers to enable the VGA port (no not using the kvm isn't an option, and modifying the kvm to fix the problem is more than I want to mess with). I've actually grabbed the drivers from git and made a small change
Can you test this system without the KVM once to be sure the probing principally works?
to have it skip the probing and just assume the port is connected, and it works fine. In the future an xorg config option to force enable a port would be quite handy.
There is - you have to configure a monitor section and use Option "Enable" in this monitor section. See the example xorg.conf in http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd
Oh, and with KDE4 from svn (as of today), it seems to somehow grab the entire card all to itself. glxgears and glxinfo exit with: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.
Check the log whether DRI/DRM is active and working. Maybe invoke glxgears with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose.
I tried to send my xorg log and config files, but your mail server rejected it (plain text files of all things).
I don't understand, others don't have any issues posting files...
