I have a 600 and use windoze to configure and to have the hibernation file (but you could do this with DOS only) > 2) How will does it work with PAO3? (any glitches??) I don't use PAO for 3.1-STABLE. I can't suspend with pccards inserted and 'zzz' doesn't work (suspend only by hotkey). but that will with PAO. Hibernation works. The trackpoint works, all three buttons, but without pushing on the point itself to click (which is unusable anyway). Sound works, too (pcm driver). You have to take out your expansion memory and install with <=64MB, then set up a kernel with a MAXMEM line. > 3) Does XFree86 work on it or do you have to purchase AccelX?
