[SOLVED] any experience with ati mobility X1400?

[Mega_Mike]

I have been using an ATI Mobility x1400 in my Dell Inspiron 6400 (e1505) with Ubuntu Fiesty, Gutsy and now Hardy. So far performance has been pretty smooth, especially now in Hardy. It took me a while to get my xorg.conf just right (I'll post it in case it will help). The parts you want to pay attention to are Section "Device" and Section "Extensions".
