I have a inspiron 8600 with a radeon mobility 9600 and use
xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 without corruption. It runs at 1920x1200. But there is
no 3D graphic. Here are the relevant parts of my xorg.conf:
Section "Module" # kdm does not start without this, even if empty
SubSection "extmod" # recommended in manual page of xorg.conf
EndSubSection
Load "type1"
Load "freetype" # this gives better fonts in openoffice
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "off time" "4"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCD"
DisplaySize 330 210 # 330 is changed to 332 (observed in
kinfocenter)
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "LCDScreen"
Device "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Monitor "LCD"
DefaultDepth 24 # will be 16 if this is omitted (observed in
kinfocenter)
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "MobileLayout"
Screen "LCDScreen"
EndSection
