Built several LFS/BLFS for my Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop (i815 chipset, i82801 bridge, nVidia NV11 GeForce2 video, ES1983S sound); last one with Xorg 7.1. Running fine (althoug if you want video acceleration, you must use proprietary binary driver from nVidia). Also implemented WiFi (with WPA-PSK) with a NetGear GA511 PCMCIA card; working fine using ndiswrapper and the windows driver. Not faced any problems during the build (I have cross-built most of these systems on a much faster desktop, just to save time). Of course, you have to identify the components of your hardware (lspci, dmesg) and select the corresponding kernel and xorg modules.
