The best place IMHO to get an answer to your question is
http://google.com/linux
Place Dell Inspriron 8200 in the search engine and you will get a big suprise.
The experts dont seem to like it much tho, as a matter of fact they moaned at
Redhat a lot as well, good job redhat has problems on laptops.
I suggest you should read this one as well, it will be in the list you get
from google but i read this one.

Take a close look at the XF86Config-4 file, they use the nvidia driver if you
read on and digest you will see that the radeon is not fully supported "yet".
