The open source ATI drivers do work for basic stuff, but so far, I've not had much good success with them on the apps that need more graphics capabilities. For example, on 11.2 on my system with the ATI 1250, using the community drivers (only option now with that card), I get loads of graphics artifacts - something that was reported on the list already.

Wonder if, when purchasing a new laptop to be used with Linux in general and openSUSE in particular, must I be aware to the video card manufacturer?
Right now I have an HP DV6230BR, which is equipped by a Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 and since openSUSE 10,3 it never caused problems.
Several new HP laptop models are now provided with ATI Radeon HD 4200: are there any issues related to this video card?
On laptops, I always look at the display chipset. Nvidia is first choice. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
