Bob, KnifeEdge (makers of G2) have (or had) in their FAQs page a paragraph where they don't recommend laptops because of poor video performance. They then go on to mention that once the NVIDIA GeForce2 Go laptop video card is released then G2 should work fine (this was a year ago). That was one of the selling points for my Gateway...they had the recommended card for the G2.

Get a card similar to the GeForce2 Go and everything should be fine:
