Here's my experience with ATi card on a laptop (M24 1T [FireGL M24 GL], IBM ThinkPad T43p, ya, I knew the mobile cards are different from those AGP cards, and this is just FYI). It works well with X.org driver although 3D performance is too slow. With ATi proprietary driver, there are many problems: 1. Unable to do suspend/hibernation. 2. mplayer can't switch to full screen mode, or can't switch back (because mplayer need to change the screen resolution to keep pixel drawing as fast as possible) 3. mplayer would become very slow if you just drag the replay window to a bigger size on a high resolution monitor (mine is 1600x1200). This probably means that the proprietary driver have poor 2D performance?? None of them happens on X.org driver.
