> Some negative test results:
> - sax2 -r -m 0=radeonold  doesn't offer dualhead config
Yes, the dualhead magic only works for drivers registered for the graphics
card.

> - replacing "radeon" with "radeonold" in the configfile generated with 10.3 
>   doesn't help
ok.

> - running sax2 from a tty with the external monitor attached hangs up my

I don't think so.

> - and there's still the broken MergedNonRectangular (see comment #13) -
>   another bugreport?
No. See comment #16. The current radeon driver will get replaced by the 
RANDR 1.2 radeon driver currently in development for next openSUSE release.

> Fortunately I found a working configuration:
> - using the xorg.conf from 10.2 and replacing "radeon" with "radeonold"
>   makes the desktop non-scrolling :-)
Ok. Use this workaround for now.

Closing as WONTFIX.
