Are there any compiled pages of hints? or is there a pile that I should toss together on a webpage? I have it working, with X and network. I don't have the modem working (someone would need to write the glue for the linux kernel driver), sound is erratic (sometimes works after cold boot, sometimes not), and I don't have the acpi working (in fact, I don't even understand what the posts are saying :) Anyway, if people will send the bits and pieces of advice that should be had for this model, I'll toss them into a page like the one I have for the Thinkpad A21p. (I'm assuming that this model still only works with -CURRENT due to the network card). hawk -- Richard E. Hawkins, Asst.
