For what ot's worth I use the VESA driver with my X1300 mobility card
(gives me not only better karma than the proprietary driver, but also
slightly longer battery life).
The only serious problem with it is that I can't seem to get the external
VGA connector to work (which I need when I do presentations: I guess I'll
have to configure the ATI driver for it at some point).
