lspci thinks my laptop has

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 contains

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "ati"
        VendorName  "ATI"
        BoardName   "Rage 128 Mobility LF"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

So, it looks like I'm using the ATI driver; it works fine for me.
It's also worth noting that my laptop (a Dell Latitude C600) has a
non-standard 1400x1050 display, so I need

        Modeline "1400x1050" 108.000  1400 1448 1462 1688  1050 1050 1053 1066

in the monitor section for this to work correctly (that line snarfed
from an XF86Config file in a Dell-provided RPM).
