Yeah. My Mileage Has Varied. BIOS update went without a hitch, but after
updating my ATI Mobility Radeon drivers opengl no longer works under WXP.
And that really puts me in a bit of a pickle since DirectX support has never
worked well either.

I wish I could talk to IBM about it, but they won't even let me send them a
message without having a current warranty on my laptop.

Oh well. I need to get on with the FreeBSD/WXP dual boot install anyway. I
hate WXP.
