Hi,
I have Thinkpad T60 and I'm currently running Linux on it. I'm planning

to switch to OpenBSD but I have a small question about the video playback.

The laptop has ATI Mobility X1400 Radeon graphics card. As far as I know

the open source 'radeon' driver doesn't support that one so I'm forced

to use the 'vesa' driver.

I know I can get the correct resolution using it but what about video

playback. Will I be able to get good playback using the vesa driver?

Also, can I get tv-out using it?

I'd hate to install OpenBSD just to notice it won't work.
