Subject: Re: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
I've needed to replace my failing laptop for months and have gone so far as
to purchase and return/exchange 3 of them. They all used the newest Intel
on-board video but the recommended drivers for ubuntu 6.10 did not function
properly so in each case I had to fully restore Windows and take the machine
back. Well, maybe "had to" is strong since I did have each machine working,
just not at the native wide screen (short screen in my opinion) LCD
resolution.

Anyway, I am looking at a Dell Inspiron E1505 which can be configured with a
256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 Hypermemory video card. I was hoping to
find someone who had that card working properly (resolution specifically)
with Ubuntu. I could get it without but that is back to the Intel video
(although I hear the drivers do work now).

So really no specific question, more an appeal for info from folks who have
used the X1400
