One point to note here. We got 1024x768(for a 15 inch, that's the best
comfortable res.), but without 3D accel( i.e. no DRI). all i can do is hope
that the OS DRI manages to reverse engineer the memory handling routines, or
(Gasp ...) ati releases the spec. othserwise, since it is an office desktop,
not having 3d-acces is not a biggie. otherwise, everything else is up... ;)
