Re: [Thinkpad] A31p video input

There are people who make a hobby of tracking different versions of ATI
chips and drivers, and figuring out which of the latter are best for the
former. Good starting points are

http://www.rage3d.com/
http://www.geocities.com/ziyadhosein/index.html
http://www.rageunderground.com/

For older ATI/Rage products - includes Rage Pro, might include the Rage
Mobility - the forums are especially useful, especially at the first site.

Some years back I replaced the 'official' drivers on a home Rage Pro machine
with a mix and match of files I found on Ziyad's board, the ultimate system
was both faster and more stable.
