So please.., I suppose that the resolution in your T41p is the native
one (1400x1050 ?) ... isn't it?
BTW, I didn't know that these effects could be reached just with the
Open Source radeon driver, since everywhere they talk about installing
the ATI proprietary driver previously. If not, is there enough
3D-acceleration there?

Your experiences/tests with your "other laptop" are really
incredible :-) You really are a computer lover, man! It is said that
often ... reality exceeds fiction. 

Thank you
