Kernel is 2.4.20-rc1, X is 4.2.0-8 from RH. The X log reports:

(--) Chipset ATI Rage 128 Pro ULTRA TF (AGP) found

Warnings/errors are:

(WW) R128(0): Can't determine panel dimensions, and none specified.
Disabling programming of FP registers.

(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected

The Dell packing list reports: 32MB ATI RAGE ULTRA 4X AGP.

Probably should take this off linux-kernel....
