The major difference that I can see is that it uses an ATI Rage Mobility graphics chip, instead of the NeoMagic chip the 4100 used. XFree86 claims to support it, and I've seen people reporting successes with Linux, but not with FreeBSD. Under FreeBSD, XF86Setup gives me what someone else described as "doubel vision" -- the congratulatory dialog box that XF86Setup puts up looks something like: [ Sa [ Save and exit ] ave and exit ] I can't figure out how to make it come up properly, in any resolution or pixel depth. Right now, I'm using the SVGA driver, which, quite frankly, sucks ;). (Scrolling in a large xterm is really horrible.) Anyone have any ideas? It looks like lots of Dell's use the same chip.
