XFree86 4.2.0 has improved Radeon support. With that replacing
the X that ships with Mandrake 8.1, I've got my 7500 working
fine for one screen. Nothing at all unusual was required in 
the config file. Send off-list mail if you want that file.

Something's wrong with dual screen support. I did what seemed
obvious in the config file, plugged in two monitors and it is
close but not right. The Blackbox toolbar shows up on both
monitors, and if I start an xterm with -display :0.1, it shows
up on the second monitor, but I cannot mouse there.

If anyone has suggestions for what to try next, I'd love to 
hear them.
