After upgrading my ati radeon drivers to 2007-08-31 git X won't start any more, not matter what config is used. I'll attach output of lspci, xorg.conf and X log.
Created attachment 11354 [details] lspci -vvv output
Created attachment 11355 [details] Failing X startup log
Created attachment 11356 [details] xorg.conf
It must be noted that startup won't work even if I comment out modes/dpms/monitor lines or some combination of them. When testing, there has been no tv-out cable connected.
The driver is not able to detect any monitors attached. I disabled load detection on the tv dac since was causing false detections for some people. What monitors do you have attached to what ports and can you attach a log from when it last worked?

My system is an Acer Aspire 1690 laptop with a 1200x800 display. Currently I am using xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.192-1.fc8 Fedora RPM which changelog says: * Tue Aug 28 2007 Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> 6.7.192-1 - xf86-video-ati 6.7.192 * Tue Aug 28 2007 Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> 6.7.191-2 - radeon-6.7.191-git-master.patch - upgrade to git head f36720377737210c985b196d9a988efdd767f1c7

When you say you are using the code from git do you mean the randr-1.2 branch or the master branch? I suspect you are using the randr-1.2 branch which is old. That branch got merged into master a while back and can be considered dead at this point. The redhat version is pretty much tracking the master branch so you should be fine.
I got the sources with: git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati

Yep, now it works. Sorry about the noise.
