I got one of those, vga driver it trident cyberblade and 4.1 version from X supports it. I'm running mine with sid, the ACPI's DSTN-table of this laptop is non-standard. But visit at www.linux-laptop.net and look over there. The DSTN - table can be fixed. ( but I'm not sure that it will run on M$ windows after this )
