Hi Pawel,
I have an IBM A30P with the ATI Radeon 7500. We struggled with getting it to
work under 7.3 for a while without too much success. We were getting an X
resource error of some kind. I eventually went with a commercial driver from
Xigraphics (http://www.xigraphics.com/) and it appears to work quite well
from my experiences so far. And no I don't work for them and no I don't own
shares 8-).
Cheers,
Brian
