Well, I'll tell you this, I NEVER could get the ATI driver to work with
that card.  In Fedora or in Gentoo in what is probably a twin to the
laptop you have.  So, I stick with the radeon driver and I can get
1280x800 without trouble.  GRanted 3D doesn't work as well, but I don't
need it on this box.
