And on my Dell as well.
But it *is* true that X -configure doesn't work.
I recommend checking the "Linux for Laptops" page and finding somebody with

I send you mine if you want, but it's only right if you have a 1400x1050
display. And I have an ATI RAGE Mobility 128, too, which uses a different
driver (mg?) from the usual one (ati?). I'm being lazy and going on memory
here.
