I've seen one tiny report (a 2 line email on a forum) saying that the binary linux drivers released by ATI work with the mobility version of the Radeon 9000 (even tho the site suggests that the drivers are not for the 'mobility').
Alternatively I think AcceleratedX has support for the ATI cards, but you have to pay for their server (but you can atleast download a time-limited demo first to see if it's worth the money).
sorry for the lack of links, if you have trouble finding this stuff yourself, email me and i'll track the sites down again.
by the way, check the weight of the gericom. the last time i came in contact with a modern gericom i almost tore a muscle ;)

hi,
i'm about to buy my very first notebook :) and saw this on media-markt (germany)
http://shop.mediamarkt.de/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId...
it's a GERICOM Masterpiece 2440
- P4 2,4GHz
- 512MB
- ATI Mobility Radeon 9000, 64MB
- etc...
my only worry is that does linux (i prefer suse) and PD+GEM work on this
machine. specially that ATI chip. on my desktop with geforce2mx440 i didn't get the 3D drivers from nvidia to work :(...audio ist mir wurst, because i will buy an usb/firewire audio interface later...
so, if any1 has/heard this machine with linux+pd+gem, let me know... i will be buying it tomorrow, a special sonday here in frankfurt, the shops are open form 13 to 18 :))))
cheers -andre ps. i'm pretty sure that pd+gem will work on windows with this machine, but i WANT linux...
