Sorry, does not work. Previous attached patch does not help.

I'm _not_ using any binary drivers, as far as i know ;-)
I'm using gentoo stable,  i don't know exactly which patches are applied to 
the x-server:-)

relevant entries in this config:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "vesa"
        VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName   "Unknown Board"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
