Hi group, Maybe (just maybe) I'll be buying a new laptop. My current laptop has a trident cyberblade i7 card, which sucks under linux. I have flickerings and _no_ 3D acceleration at all. My thoughts are: new hardware, good (perfect?) compatibility with Debian, ;-)
Any thoughts on ATI Radeon Mobility 7000, 7500 and alike? You can't download ATI Mobility drivers for linux from their site, :-(. How about the basic XFree 4.2/4.3 drivers? DRI? I understand the 'normal' Radeons are supported quite well, but the Mobility ones? I _really_ want a laptop which doesn't turn out to be incompatible with Debian. And since I'll be paying a _lot_ of money, I want DRI compatibility as well. Thanks, David
