14 I am using the xorg drivers actually. I have no problems playing video
15 from Hulu in Linux or NetFlix in vmware/virtualbox. Graphics are fine
16 for me.
17
18 I'm not sure if 3D works at all with the xorg ATI driver. I have no
19 need for it and haven't tried, but I keep thinking I should.
20 Basically, the machine more than meets my needs so no need to mess
21 around with it.

23 xorg.conf attached.
