You should also take a close look at your video hardware in this laptop. My best results have always been with nvidia hardware. I don't have personal knowledge of the current state of ATI drivers, but I think many people are having good results these days. With Intel video hardware, the results seem pretty sketchy. I've got correct rendering under linux, but very slow. Recently on a Vista laptop with intel hardware, I saw all kinds of video artifacts and missing surfaces. Hopefully that Intel 3d video situation will improve (and perhaps we can help some of that on the FlightGear side). But without good video hardware, you might never be able to achieve useful results on your laptop.
