Well hopefulyl you can get X running.  ATI supports teh X700, but has no
mention of the X700 mobility in their release notes.

I think the Dell I have had trouble with has the same video chip and I
still haven't managed to get X to work with it.

Best bet for support is avoid ati video chips unless you know for SURE
it is a supported one.
