Looking at a machine with the same thing. Best I can tell, ATI offers a
driver that apparently works, although based on what I've read the 3D
capabilities are somewhat restricted. Red Hat lists it as  "Community
Knowledge" rather than RH supported, which basically means "Somebody got
it working well enough to satisfy them". Take it for what it's
worth...

BTW, if you're into extreme performance in a laptop you should probably
have a look at the Clevo manufactured machines sold by Sager, Alienware,
M-Tech and Pro Star. Sure, it's not a Dell, but if you buy from the right
re-seller you'll get good support. http://powernotebooks.com has garnered
rave reviews. They sell the Sager line. You'll save a ton of money.
