I have a T60 running Fedora 8. Using the ATI driver packaged by livna.org, 
I have 3D, desktop effects, and suspend/resume working nearly perfectly. 
(Lately, sometimes upon resume, the disk thrases for as long as I have let 
it so far, but logging out stops the activity. I don't know if it's 
related to the video driver or not.)

I have not tried dual displays.
