Hello,

We are about to buy new Thinkpads (T60's), and will be running FreeBSD 
5.5 or 6.2 (probably 6.2) on them.

The ones I've spec'd out have the the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 
950 as its video adapter -- does anybody have any input on these? Will 
they work? I'd hate to have 7 new thinkpads show up and find out that we 
can't run X because of this.

There are similar T60's available that ship w/ ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 
cards, but they all seem to be heavier and shorter on battery life, and 
the other folks here put battery life and weight as the #1 items on 
their wish lists before I started to spec them out, so that leans me 
towards the ones with the Intel graphics card.

Thanks for any info,
DW
