I've an IBM/Lenovo T60p with: - ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 (Using the default Open Source radeon driver) - 15" UXGA display - Intel Centrino Duo processor (T2400) - 2GB RAM
This is generally an outstanding laptop under Linux. Everything works wonderfully (Verizon Mobile Broadband, Dual-Head, Suspend/Resume, WiFi, Bluetooth, special keys and thinklight, etc). The only real problem is terrible 2D performance in some applications: - VNC sessions (through Vinagre and through other VNC clients) - Cadence Virtuoso XL Layout (an integrated circuit CAD application) - YouTube (flash) videos The big ones for me are VNC and Cadence, as these are the tools I use for work. If I dual-boot into Windows XP and use VNC the speed is fine. Note that Youtube (flash) videos are fine in XP as well. The VNC slowness occurs regardless of the VNC server I'm connected to (Windows, Mac, Linux) and is very bad (the screen 'paints', from top to bottom, in about 2 seconds, when there is a large display change). Most users questions seem to concentrate on 3D performance, and in this arena I have no complaints. Compiz works great and I don't play 3D games on this laptop. I hate booting Windows XP to get work done Thanks in advance.....
