Hmm, doesn't work... aarg, I'm running rawhide ;)

Uh, this was fast. Thanks.

This will not work out of the box at the moment, at least for 15 and 17"
models. The radeon driver of xorg-x11 is broken.
xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix-2.patch causes problems.
David should know about it: bug #152648.

Additionally the native resolution of 15" models is not supported
(1280x854). For 17" (1440x900) I'm not sure.
