I have an IBM Thinkpad R51with a Radeon Mobility 9000 M9.
It works quite well with FreeBSD 5.4. The only issue I have, is that I cannot
have 3d-acceleration and at the same time have suspend-to-ram support.
(Theres a huge difference noticable when I run glxgears)

It's so much better than the standard 1024x768 that you have to see
it to understand.
At least in my experience, it also makes people call you nuts all the
time. I am using tiny fonts for things that are not as important (like
menu bars, for example) and bit fonts for text that I really want t

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600C, which only has a touch pad. *But* its
immediate predecessor, the 8600, had a track pad and one of those little
pink joysticks (what are they called anyway?) and I know for a fact that

The graphics work perfectly on my Thinkpad R51 (Radeon 9000),
including 3D acceleration/dri. There are different R51 models with
different graphic chipsets available IIRC.
Hello Daniel and Bartosz:
Thank you for such prompt and helpful replies. Sounds like the Dell's
ATI will work just fine.

I'd say the Dell's video is more likely to work (even 3d).
Well, not quite yet. X.Org 6.8 doesn't have any 3D support for modern
Radeon chips and the forthcoming 6.9/7.0 will have "experimental"
support. But 2D is working just fine (I am typing this on an Inspiron
8600C with ATI Radeon).
