[opensuse-xorg] 11.1 multi-output radeon - screen blanks on login/KDM working

http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/111/p1ph1lvf-video.txt contains lspci, hwinfo,
xorg.conf & Xorg.0.log. This is my first encounter with onboard video with
vga, dvi & svhs outputs. The motherboard is ASUS, but cannot be found on its
web site because it is part of one of its desktop systems: P1-PH1. 11.1/KDE3
is freshly installed and updated.

No matter what I've tried so far with SaX2 or manually with xorg.conf, KDM
works, but before KDE displays anything on the desktop, the display goes into
sleep mode. Commenting away the DPMS line has no apparent effect, as do
Option "DPMS" "false", Option "NoDDC" & Option "DDC" "false". Searching
opensuse.org so far has turned up nothing on point. Google results, while
seeming to be on point, haven't yet provided a solution.

I tried a Knoppix 6.2.1 DVD, KDE4 & Xorg X Server 1.6.5. It works, but the
only thing I see in its xorg.conf that might impact my trouble is Option
"MonitorLayout" "LVDS,AUTO". I tried adding that, also with CRT instead of
LVDS, with no apparent effect. Then I tried after startx, the blanking, then
quiet disk, Alt-F2 & konsole, from which I redirected xrandr to a file. That
file says VGA-0, DFI-0 & S-video are all disconnected, confirmed by Xorg.0.log.

Anyone know whether this is an unfixed bug of some sort with multihead radeon
"cards"? Is "(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the
DRM; [dri] Disabling DRI." the problem? If so, what's it actually mean
(Option "Composite" "Disable" didn't help)? "(EE) RADEON(0): No connected
devices found!" is a lie, as seems to be "(EE) RADEON(0): Using VGA default".
Help!?!
