Hi,

on my T60p most things run fine with opensuse 10.1, i installed the ati
8.25.18-x86 driver with ati's driver-installer, no --buildpkg. after

aticonfig --initial -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf

i still had to change DRI Mode in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "0666" to make
google earth working properly. glxgears now runs with ~2500 fps.

after switching to a text console from a
running xorg the text is often unreadable, as far as i know (from
somewhere on this list) this is already known by ati and should be
fixed in one of the next releases, but i can live with that.

after some problems with the wireless adapter i decided to compile a 2.6.17.3 with the ipw3945 drivers from sourceforge. since i threw away the original suse-kernel the undock switch at the advanced mini dock is
working properly.

I haven't tried to get hdaps working.
