That's true, my machine has ATI Radeon M6 LY. But I installed sid on a
SONY S1HP (for a friend) recently, which has the ATI Radeon 9600. It
runs with a even more esotheric resolution at 1280x800. There is no
reason why it shouldn't run at 1400x1050.

I send you my xconfig for the SONY Z1 (configured for internal and
external display) so you can pick out the relevant bits, if your xconfig
is the problem.
In case there is a kernel issue: On the SONY S1HP I used the stock
Debian 2.6.9 kernel. (I cannot send you the xconfig from that machine
right now, but th xconfig shouldn't be different. As far as I remember
there is not specific 9600 stuff in it.)
Hm, you mention artefacts on the screen. Do you run the XFree on the
framebuffer? If yes, try the "ati" driver instead.
cheers,
Hp.
