I Have a mobilityx1400 on my thinkpad. However I have gotten it to work. 1. Have you tried using the packaging from the envy project? I triedubuntu for a little while when Hardy came out and at that time the envypackages had gotten the driver to work with the ubuntu rt kernel.http://www.albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A Apparently, it is in theUniverse repo now. 2. I am currently using opensuse 11 with jenglh's kernel and I havebeen building the driver from ati.com. I found that there were somemodifications the studio 64 forms that got the kernel module to buildright. http://64studio.com/node/150 (see sydb's post dated 12-23-2007)They involve extracting the driver and then changing the license line ona couple of files, and then building a package. I also have realizedthat this does not give me the right to gripe if it hoses mykernel/system on a realtime kernel. So far, I have had reasonablesuccess with this configuration. I am looking forward the the work on the ati and radeonhd driver so Idon't have to mess with fglrx anymore.
