I thought of that.  The information on the Radeon 1GP 320M is contradictory, 
but might reflect changes in XFree86.  I'm not sure what some of the peripheral 
chips are.  Windows XP helpfully hides most of this info from you when you look 
at the configuration.  And HP's site doesn't give the details either.

I think I need to get the latest Knoppix CD and see if that
works.
