<pre wrap="">That was an interesting read. I have to say that for my laptop (a Dell
Latitude D830) on jaunty (i haven't upgraded yet), i found #2
(installing the proprietary driver for my NVIDIA graphics card)
essential. If i didn't, dual screen never worked, and neither did power
management.

I have a dell d830 as well. I went with the intel video card. I have
full compiz running without any problems. I have found karmic is pretty
good on my laptop. I have dual screens working without a problem,
either in the d-dock, with a projector or external LCD. Dual 1920x1200
with wobbly windows is always nice :)</pre>

Sounds like the way to go - tried any games needing 3D acceleration? I
play a lot of games with my kids - they love playing Spring RTS and
Runescape MMORPG, both of which seem to eat video cards for breakfast,
and no matter how good a machine i throw at them, it never seems to be
enough. I'd be a bit concerned that the Intel card wouldn't have the
raw grunt to handle those sort of things.<br>
