Just as a word of warning, certain combinations of multiple radeon
cards do not work properly with xfree86 4.3.  A fix for this went in
soon after 4.3 was released, but I don't know if Mike has it in his
build or not (he does keep the radeon driver fairly up to date).  It
should work fine with xfree86 cvs or a 4.4 snapshot.
