I agree: with the panorama driver video works pretty well.

>>> The installation of eCS RC6a on a T61p was straight-forward, at least for everything I really need. There is one feature though that is less than what one needs, concerning the video driver. I use Snap at 1040x760 (or so), 16 MB depth, and it is SLOW. Directory listings of many files take too much time; the light box mode of PMView takes too long to display; work with the browser (seamonkey) is often very slow, etc. Would someone have a suggestion of what one could try to speed up the display some? Is there a way?
