Turns out that the main problem was that, as suggested, the Radeon needs
to live in the top slot on the PCI bus (bus ID 0:13:0). This got past the
"hung-after PCI scan" problem.
Next, my embedded trackpad (Alps GlidePoint keyboard) needed the
mouse device to be /dev/input/mice and protocol "IMPS/2".
Once I finally got into X, my keyboard mapping was horribly screwed up.
I partially fixed this by going into the Preferences->Peripherals->Keyboard
panel and enabling the keyboard layout and selecting Generic 104-key PC
layout. This at least gives me the use of most of the keyboard.
Unfortunately, the layout isn't quite right - the arrow keys, home/end, and
page up/down are all mapped to odd things.
I've tried the couple of other keyboard layouts that look like they could
possibly work, but no dice.
Anyone know how I should set up my keyboard to get it completely
working? Do I need to grab a layout from somewhere else?
The relevant section from my XF86Config-4 is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CustomKeycodes"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh_old"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
