At this point in time, you need to by Xig's Accelerated X (Laptop) =

product.  I have a Dell i7500 with this part, and nothing else comes =

close to working well.  In most cases, there is little or no VESA support=
 =

offered by the ATI BIOS so the Linux solution leaves you SOL.

And I have to admit that Xig's server screams on this hardware; it racks
up at about 50% the 2D speed of a Matrox G400 or Voodoo 3, which is
nothing to complain about.
