Gotcha. :( Can't really say much to fix this, since as Alan said they aren't doing much to help the situation, every vendor except Intel is remaining completely closed. I have a Thinkpad T30, which has an ATI Radeon 7500, which is for lack of a better word, slow junk. It's decent with Linux DRI, but on OpenSolaris it gets 1/4th the framerate. I've decommissioned it in the end partly because of this. Not being able to run DVD's decently is an issue, and I have a MacBook Pro which has little to no problems, but then again, it doesn't help to say this because many people are stuck using components from Broadcom and ATI.
