Xorg.conf for Gateway M460

I spent my free time today tweaking my Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 xorg.conf file to death. I have to say, the “fglrx” driver absolutely sucks butt for the Radeon Mobility X600 video card. There’s just no point in using it. Even with default settings, you get black regions in Wine and render-errors in Firefox due to VRAM randomly being overwritten thanks to piss-poor management.

The default “ati” driver Ubuntu gives you sucks equally hard. It has no 3D support and lags terribly when doing very complicated tasks like scrolling. The winner is definitely the “radeon” driver. I get 600fps on glxgears with no screen artifacts.

Edit: Section Monitor->DisplaySize has been changed. Thanks byuu! Somehow I did totally wrong math for the vertical range. If you change the value to the new one, you will have real 120dpi fonts.
