The laptop has an S3ViRGE/MX video chip, but the proper s3virge driver isn't quite working properly (under XFree86 v4). It tends to lock up when exiting from X back to console. So I'm using the generic vesa driver instead for the time being. The mouse works fine as /dev/psaux or whatever it is. I've had no problems with pcmcia. I recompile pcmcia-modules myself to fit my own kernel. Sound was a bit tricky, but I think it's easier to setup in the 2.4 kernel now than it was under 2.2.
