I was afraid of bad pixels when I chose mine (so I selected the smaller
screen), but I've since learned that dead pixels are not common with
Thinkpads.  Doesn't really matter, since I don't believe the bigger screen 
was an option when I bought mine.  I do like bigger screens, when I get to 
see them first.

'man ati', then 'man ati_drv', then 'locate README.ati' are what I would
