9 My Mobility X700 works quite well with opensource drivers included with xorg
10 and AIGLX (never tried XGL, AIGLX is too simple to set up ;) ). Specifically,
11 I tried it with x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.99.903-r1, media-libs/mesa-6.5.2,
12 x11-libs/libdrm-2.3.0 and x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3.
13 But I still prefer using my i915, even though it's slower and uses shared
14 memory, since x700 tends to have hiccups on heavy disk IO and uses more power
15 (== shorter battery life).
