I'm puzzled... I've read several times now that the Xi LX-L-41
Accelerated X Server product supports the ATI 3D RAGE PRO LT video
card that comes in the Inspiron 7000.
However, when I read through their web-page, that card is not on their
supported hardware list.
I've never used the Xi product, so I'm puzzled. Does their product
actually support the ATI 3D RAGE PRO LT video card?
