Hei folks,

i didn't follow developments for about two years now, but it's soon time
to say goodbye to my T41p and get a T60, T60p or ideally T61p, soon.

Since one of the major differences between those is the graphics
adapter...what is the current support status?

How are the ATI X1400 and FireGL V5200 supported by open and proprietary
drivers? (particularly framebuffer, DRI, dual monitor and monitor
switching support)

I'm reading that the nVidias found in the newer T61p models eat a lot of
battery. More than the FireGLs? Are there similar powermanagement
options (thinking dynamicclocks here)?

Any other concerns between the cards or the models?

Also...The Lenovo page seems to erroneously state at some point that
there are T61 models with integrated cameras, but the actual models
listed don't mention any. Is this just an error or a real option?

Thanks,
Andr=C3=A9.
