About 6 months ago, trying to use ATi's evil binary modules with compiz-fusion resulted in EPIC FAIL. The open ATi modules worked fine, though. The quality of nVidia's evil binary modules is IME quite good, in general better than ATi's AFAICT. > top 3 laptop vendors to choose from: > HP, Dell, Lenovo Lenovo, unless their new not-quite-IBM machines are pieces of cheap crap. The old Thinkpads were well-built. I have not had the chance to play with their newer machines for a long period of time, though, so I don't know how they stack up. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
