Or a new laptop. Better yet, try finding a laptop that has an acceptable video chipset that is not nVIDIA or ATI. (Trident is not acceptable, not even to dentists who chew gum.) I wish Matrox had a chipset for laptops, but I have yet to see it. (And probably never will...) Is there a reasonably fast chipset that will give an acceptable framerate for OpenGL and has open source drivers? Other than Matrox (and some will argue on the OpenGL part) i don't know of any.
