What is the best linux compatible laptop

[Jason Brown]

I ran into this on the 425cds.  The display actually can use better graphics
than the default XFree86 allows.  If you look at the documentation for the
video card (mine was a chips and technologies CT65550).  You will see an option
to manually increase the highest allowable dot clock.  I think it is "DacSpeed"
so in you video card setting of the XF86Config file, you would add 

DacSpeed maximum-dot-clock-from-manual 
(ex. DacSpeed 50). 

Hope this helps.
