Been there, done that on exactly the same machine.
Also had an IPS Flexview on a 1860-4QU.
No problem.

Thanks, that's good news. So if this is true then the reverse must also be true...that a 15" SXGA+ non-flexview LCD panel from an R52 will work in a 15" ATI based R51. I see a swap in the near future ...

Any R5x ATI machine can display XGA and SXGA+, the 15" ATI can also do UXGA.
The R52 15" Intel GPU can display XGA and SXGA+ (never tried UXGA though, but might work...)
