xorg.conf

I have an "early 2008" Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 2600XT. I purchased the
ATI card second hand, it's supposed to be an Apple Card, I believe the seller,
and it works correctly in Mac OS but I didn't receive it directly from apple so
I can't swear to its veracity.... I purchased the system with the Nvidia card
and wanted to see if any of the ATI drivers gave me a better X experience.

I'm using a Dell 3007WFP monitor.

My system is running the amd64 FreeBSD's -STABLE release (FreeBSD 7) with xorg
and gnome stuff built from the ports tree as of mid-May.

I run X sessions using startx, which calls gnome-session.

When I tried xf86-video-radeon-hd-1.2.1 from the ports tree I was faced with a
black screen after starting X. On a whim I plugged the monitor into the #2 dvi
connection and discovered my gnome desktop. When I exited my gnome session I
was faced with a black screen and no console. Moving the video cable back to
DVI #1 restores my console.

I fetched the git version of the driver yesterday. The "./autogen.sh" step
fails, complaining about a docs related macro that it doesn't know about.
Subsequent make's fail in man. Since I didn't need the man pages I just cd'd
into the src dir, did a mkae and then a make install. This splats the driver
bits over the pre-existing freebsd port/package, but I think it get's the
important parts in the right place.

With the git version both the console (booting with the display connected to
DVI #1) and my X session work, but randr -q reports that the monitor is on
DVI-I_2.

I'm attaching my xorg.conf, I don't see any way to add more than one
attachment, so I'll come back and attach my Xorg.0.log and xrandr output.
