Gee, I did not even know that they revamped the model yet
again--that's how one becomes out of date (equipment-wise speaking) in
les than half an year. Hmm.
I don't know anything about the 9000, but logically speaking 9000
cannot be better supported that the M7, eh? I also seem to recall
that the most recent ATI adapter recommended for Linux hovers around
the number 8000 (8500 maybe?), but I wouldn't really know.
I should also note that, at the time I got my (by now old, ;-) )
tibook nobody had really seen the particular video card that was in
it. It did take in excess of a month to get it working, but I did get
it to work eventually, so don't despair--although I am still waiting
for somebody to get the sleep in working order for the damn thing.
