These are "vanilla" installations - none of the two has 2D acceleration (and no 3D either)
I have tried the drivers found at xig.com on the Latitude with no success (installation was ok but no improvement).
I have also tried dri.sourceforge.net without luck.
Are my cards supported at all? On the Latitude: ATI Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64) On the Inspiron: Radeon 7500 (Mobility as well)
Following are some more details on what I have on my Latitude (test system, I can mess around with it):
