hi!
the problem No.1 ( Xconfigurator does not detect free video ram for ATI )
is easily fixed.
(I reported it several months ago on some redhat bug report form
with the following solution included)
the problem is that the ATI server does not report free video ram
in the format which is expected by Xconfigurator ;-)
greetings,
andreas
