Have you been overdosing on the Intel kool-aid since you joined them? :) Seriously -- please don't refer to Intel video as 'open' because it misleads people. That kind of misinformation led directly to me buying the useless Intel hardware I now have in what's supposed to become my MythTV box. You might just as well say that nVidia is 'well supported and open' because you can use it with the VESA 'driver'. But we digress. Personally, if I was buying a laptop and didn't care about games, it'd still have to be a PowerBook. You even get reliable suspend/resume without all that ACPI crap, and we have the built-in Broadcom wireless working in the rawhide kernels too, now. The ATI r300 cards are well-enough supported for 2D, and 3D is sort of on the way too. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
