Re: [PD] laptop + linux + pd + help

the radeon is well supported for hw accelleration under the DRI
[dri.sf.net].

i get unusually high frame rates in quake3arena...
oh, and GEM also runs beautifully ;)

the only disappointing thing about the dell insprions /latitudes are the
maestro3i cards; they masquerade as a full duplex card [according to
the bios] have too much line noise and have a frigid mic [at least on
mine].

aside from the prehistoric problem of the ACPI vs change of power state
hairiness [common to many brands of laptop] the dell's are *solid and
reliable powerstations with oodles of features.
