Pretty much everything works: USB, IR (though I don't use it), all the APM stuff, X, sound (via ALSA). Apparently even the little scrolly wheel thing (different from a mouse scroll wheel) can be made to work, though I never saw reason to use it. I think the old story about Linux not being very laptop friendly is a bit outdated. I've known plenty of people who've had good success with Linux and *BSD on laptops. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
