My Dell Latitude Cpx laptop has the ATI Rage Mobility chip set for its
video. Have been using it with FC2 for quite a while now.
Below is a portion of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I don't think it is
100% accurate, I have tried off and on to get a higher resolution on the
display. However I think the display I have is only good for 1024x768,
as such the display settings I have in the xorg.conf file don't really
match.
However, everything seems to work with these settings for me.
