No, this is untrue. xrandr should tell you your current refresh rate - on laptops, this is basically uninteresting. /etc/fstab has nothing to do with it. > >* How do I know if 3D Acceleration is/should be working? > > In most cases you'll need to install drivers of the manufacturer like > ATI o NVIDIA. Also untrue. If you have an nvidia card, you need binary drivers to support 3D. If you have anything else, then 3D should work with a plain Dapper install unless you have certain ATI cards, your card doesn't support 3D at all or it's fairly rare and nobody has written 3D drivers for it. > >* What is 'Cpu frequency scaling' and how do I know if my laptop > >supports it? > > Depends of your CPU Does your CPU speed up and slow down depending on how heavily it's used? if powernowd is running, then it's supported. > >* There are some special keys on the Compaq EvoN150 - how should I fill > >in the info for them?
