Notes
|
Pentium M Processor, 1.6 GHz | Works | Works |
15" SXGA+ TFT Display | Works | Select Generic LCD Display in Installer, suprisingly only does 1024x768 |
Onboard i915 | Works | Use i810 or vesa driver, VESA framebuffer |

Harddrive | Works with DMA enabled | Works out of the box |
USB | Works | Work OTTB |
Integrated Network Card | Works | Works OTOB with reaktek 8139too driver |
Internal 56k Modem | Doesn't Work | Might be able to get it to work with the linmodem hsf drivers, but looks doubtful, they installed form me but will not dial. The full speed drivers will set you back US$19.95. You milage may vary. |
DVD ROM drive | Works | Works |
AIRFORCE ONE | Works | Needed to use NDIS wrapper and windows xp drivers |

Frequency scaling | Does not work | Will not work |
Inbuilt Sound | Works Mostly | Works with ALSA, although pluggin in headphones does not work, good luck |
