? I avoid ATI at all cost because I always had trouble with ATI cards 
resp. with the drivers. The ATI card in my wife's ThinkPad is a mess. To 
be precise 3D doesn't work with the FOSS drivers and watching video 
doesn't work with fglrx ... With the NVidia card in my desktop PC I can 
have 3D and watch video (using NVidia's binary driver).

Yes.

Watching video on my X200s doesn't work at all and using a projector 
doesn't work as it should.

Compiz works like a charm.

Just my 2 cents.
