Hi all,

My new Dell laptop was upgraded to an Inspirion 4100 (from a 4000) 
without my knowledge. The 4100 has a Radeon Mobility video card (4000 
had a Rage Mobility), which is not supported under the version 4.
1.0 (which is the version Slackware 8.0 comes with). I have been 
searching the XFree86.org forums and have seen references to patching 
a file in the current CVS tree to get XWin to run on this card with 
the proper resolution for my laptop screen (1400x1050). I however 
cannot find the post that has the patch in it. Does anyone know what 
this patch is? Also, has anyone tried this patch to be sure it is 
reliable? This laptop is actually a long-term loan as part of a fellowship,
so it isn't technically mine. I'd hate to ruin the screen while 
trying to get XWin running.
