Hi Patrick,

many thanks for quick reply and help. I can report the ATI Radeon 9600 working  
at a resolution of 1920x1200 on a Inspiron 8600 laptop after copying the 
driver modules into the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers directory and 
replacing the XFree86 binary - it's awesome... :-)

Thanks again,

cheerio Berndt
