 Although I would prefer a graphics chip that is supported fully by an
 open source driver I am pragmatic enough to use a binary-only driver if
 need be.

 If I cannot find out whether or the binary driver provided by ATI
 supports the features I need (apparently the ATI customer support cannot
 answer my question, too) I will most likely buy a ThinkPad with an
 Intel 945GM graphics chip. This chip appears to be the best supported
 one by open source drivers AFAIK.

 Anyways, thank you for your time and bearing with me,
Sebastian
