 <pre wrap="">Hi list,
I'm just curious about whether someone has tried XGL on a ThinkPad T42
or similar (T4x), whether it is really possible or maybe it depends on
the amount of video card RAM memory of each TP..., or maybe just it is
impossible... Actually I've never read anything about this.

Does someone has tried that successfully?

I'm particularly interested in Fedora Core 5 experiences (if any); my TP
comes with an ATI RV350 Mobility Radeon 9600 M10 with 64 MB of memory. 

I'd like to know -before to try anything- whether my hardware would have
any possibility or would worth it.

Thanks in advance. 

Regards

Hi, 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have recently been messing with aiglx on my old r40 that has a
7500 (r200) with 32mb of ram. I couldnt get compiz to play nice at
1400x1050, but it was fine at lesser resolutions, and surprisingly
fast. Definately worth looking into, if aiglx works ok on 32M,
hopefully xgl will play nice with your 64M. One way to find out I guess
:)
