Hi,
I just bought the above named Laptop and was wondering if there is anything I need to watch out for besides not having 3D acceleration because they use ATI grafic cards? Maybe the built in wireless card might not work too.
CentOS 4.2 has Xorg 6.8 which in turn has some 3d acceleration for the r200/r250 series. I don't know which card is in the T42, my T40 has an ATI 9200 (Mobility M9) - which works accelerated under Xorg 6.8.
Forget Doom3 and the like, Quake 3 works reasonably, the 3d screensavers do well also.
