If i were you i'd upgrade to kernel 2.4.x since it has muuuch better laptop support. Compiling the kernel with 'make menuconfig' seems to be the most reliable way to compile any required packages you might need.
Give it a go, it' reliable/modern and feature rich.

I just installed Potato 2.2r2 with 2.2.18_pre21 kernel on a dell Celerion 3500 laptop. Everything worked fine but i had to recompile the kernel (I took the same kernel source version) to get apm working. I did it on the debian way (make-kpkg...) and found it very usefull and really great. Now I have to recompile the PCMCIA (among others) modules ; I was wondering if there was also a debian way of doing... Thanks for answering...
