I dont know if this is related (am not familiar with DVI functionality) The laptop I am using now uses the ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP chip and I am using the default X.org drivers shipped with Mandriva LE 2005. I can use it to watch movie clips and the general apps (OO.o, firefox, eclipse, etc.) without any problems. I have yet to try running any graphics intensive games on it but glxgears reported framerates in the hundred (I cant remember now) so that is pretty promising. ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back" Anuerin G.
