On the indirect advice of the RH guys on this list, I did and I'm happier for it. It's supposed to be better for battery life and when I ordered, I didn't know how long it would be before nvidia shipped an aiglx compatible driver. They ended up releasing a beta before I got the M1210 and I was second guessing myself but after dealing with the nvidia driver on my desktop, it's nice to have things just work with the standard distribution. Compiz works very well for me and the size and weight of the machine are perfect. It even plays quake3 at reasonable frame rates. It will be even nicer when the 3945 wireless driver is in the standard kernel but the Linville kernels work fine. I am having a problem with the snd_hda_intel driver not finding the sound card on 50% of my reboots but I'm sure that will be fixed in the near term. I even got the camera working with the ucv driver. It's a pretty nice laptop. tjb --</blockquote><div> I'm being enticed to keep the E1505/ati by company A now. I called to return so I can look at the 1405/1210 and company A will give me $390 back to keep it........ Laptop works with LInux just fine. But I did want something smaller but now that its about 1/3 off not sure I can pass it up :) Just live with ATI </div> </div>
