I use ATI videocards in my 3 test servers at work (at redhat): 2 compaq, 
one hp. I know that there's a spefial agreement between redhat and 
dell. But i haven't tried to install on a dell for some time now.

As I recommended during the class, please enter a bug for bugzilla about 
this stuff. If RedHat is not told about the problem, how can they solve 
it?

Yes, RedHat pays a lot of attention to bugzilla.

Consider sending the information about your system collected with the 
comands:

lspci
cat /proc/.... (the path to the info about your scsi controller)
fdisk -l
(a sample of hdparm showing the difference in speed between 7.2 and 7.3)
