Diane's T61 has the nVidia chip in it. I wasn't aware that Panorama wouldn't install on the Intel chip. Very interesting.
Lewis, I'm afraid I don't understand your comments...

Starting at the Panorama Home Page:
http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/panorama/
In the "Panorama VESA video driver" link to:
http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/panorama/download/hardware.txt
. . . it says:

List of video adapters tested with Panorama VESA:
=================================================
<snip>
Intel 945GM                                               8086:27A2
Intel Integrated G965 X3000                               8086:29A2
Intel 82852GM/GME/GMV/PM, 855GM/GME Montara               8086:3582
While my adpater is the first on this list, I've been reluctant because
I don't know exactly what I have to backup and how difficult it might
be to get back to SNAP.
I downloaded and installed the wpi version for SNAP.  I have checked the uninstall in WarpIN, and it will restore back to SNAP if you remove it.

OK, thanks!  That's good to know.  When I get some time, maybe I'll
give it a go.

OTOH, my power/battery widget seems to work OK.  [It's not the beer
barrel style, though.  It looks like a battery, blue on the bottom with
a yellow segment that grows as the battery is used.]

Thanks, again.
Carl

I pulled the plug on mine and get the same as you.  I have yet to try the "beer" widget to see what it looks like on battery.  If it shuts down in 6 minutes, I will not be too happy.
