I did have some problems with this, but it works fine with 2.6.0-test9
00:03.0 Modem: ALi Corporation Intel 537 [M5457 AC-Link Modem]
Haven't done much with this, but from what I gather this isn't supported at all.
00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02)
Works beautifully with the "trident" module under 2.4 kernels, or the "snd_ali5451" (ALSA) module under 2.6-test kernels.
00:06.0 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 PMU
Some kind of watchdog device?
00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV] 00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device 170d (rev 01)
Urg. The driver for this is not part of the kernel tree; it is, however, free software. A bit fiddly to get working with 2.6.0-test kernels. Supposedly, the "tg3" driver should support all the cards that Broadcom's own driver supports. However, this is not the case.
00:0c.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1510 PC card Cardbus Controller
Works, I think. The PCMCIA tools don't seem to be able to detect when a card is inserted, and sometimes modules have to be removed/(re)loaded by hand. I suspect this is something to do with IRQs.
00:0f.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c4) 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 340M
Works fine, but no 3D acceleration. There are patches around against XFree CVS, apparently. (http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314)
Things have improved a lot since I first got the laptop. ACPI is working much better. USB doesn't crash the machine any more. I am generally very happy with the laptop.
