Thanks for the helpful responses about your T-60 experiences. I was wonder, though, if anyone had anything to say about the graphics card choices. Obliviously, the 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 probably screams, but I hear it causes the fan to run constantly and it probably reduces battery life. The most hard core graphics use the machine would get would be watching DVD's at conferences, but hardware acceleration would be nice. Anyone have any experience with the Intel 950 integrated graphics?
Recent intel graphics chips have been decent if not respectable. The main point in favor of with linux is the open source drivers including acceleration. Though the "radeon" driver has been getting better in Xorg 7.x, and can even run beryl. -- Joseph Tate Personal e-mail: jtate AT dragonstrider DOT com Web: http://www.dragonstrider.com -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
