HI,

I appended the patch to the kernel, and it has booted fine, but I don't
know if it is working or not.

when I do lspci -v, I just see something like,

16:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
Whistler XT [AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Sony Corporation Device 9084
 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 70
Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
 Memory at c0200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
I/O ports at 5000 [size=256]
 Expansion ROM at c0240000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: radeon
Kernel modules: radeon

It says <access denied> so I don't think it is in use right now.

Do I have to install the fglrx, or need to write a custom xorg.conf? If so,
what would be the content of it?

According to the article, I believe we need to run two X servers that
shares a session. How is that possible?

That is a awful lot of question, but thanks in Advance.

PS. Forgot to send it to the mailing list. Sorry
