tp x41



i usually dislike these types of mails, however i haven't found the
answer on my own yet. if it's out there and i missed it, kindly push
me in the right direction...

i'm considering the new ibm thinkpad x41, and the one thing i'm
concerned about is the pci-express graphics card (Intel Graphics
Media Accelerator 900) - i think the i915 chipset. the x40's have
an agp interface which i know works, but the x41 is pci-x - can the
pci bus interface deal with a pci-x graphics card? i'm sure adding
the devices id's will be the first step in getting x11 up, but
that's ok. though, i not sure if the x.org 6.8.2 i810 driver will
work, but i've yet to complete that research. i see there is an
i915 one too, looks to be based on the 830.

i know they are new, but anyone have experience with an x41? might
just have to go with the x40, even though they are basically the
same price..

thanks for any help/suggestions....
