Xorg 6.8.2 on Linux works fine on the same laptop. So I believe that
Xorg 6.8.2 supports the ATI Mobility X600. Besides this card is on the
hardware compatibility list of Xorg 6.8.2.

When I do PCI scan on Linux the video card is properly recognized.
When I do a PCI scan on NetBSD 3.0 the video card is not properly
recognized. That's why I was wondering whether my problem is not
kernel related.

Thanks for your help.
