I have a few question about this new Open Source Radeon driver. 1) I'm seeing both radeon and radeonfb in memory. Is this OK, or does it imply a problem of some sort? Can xorg-server use radeon while the console is possibly using radeonfb or is the system misconfigured? [ 8.571434] Adding 2048276k swap on /dev/hda6.

This machine has both a VGA connector (in use) and an S-Video connector. (not in use) Is the 'Setting screen physical size to 320 x 240' an indication that if she was to look at the screen right now it's not running in the normal 1024x768 sort of mode? How can I tell at a distance what the screen resolution might be?
