I have an ATI based laptop, and have no problems with the compiz/beryl + aiglx 
combo using xorg-drv-ati or with google earth. however, i dont really care much 
for most of this desktop eyecandy, so just use ati's drivers ( since I do enjoy 
a bit of enemy-territory  + true combat elite + quake4 ) and get framerates 
like 
this :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ glxgears
45865 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9172.979 FPS
61548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12309.445 FPS
59406 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11881.133 FPS
59597 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11919.334 FPS
61542 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12308.389 FPS
61425 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12284.986 FPS

and...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
8041 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1608.200 FPS
8219 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1643.800 FPS
8326 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1665.200 FPS
8326 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1665.200 FPS

What non ATI based laptop do you plan on getting that will give you this sort 
of 
performance ?

btw, I also have a intel core2 - i945 based laptop and i wont bother publishing 
graphic stats for that... its almost embarrassing.
