I've made this question because I found these messages on linux boot that called my attention.. agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 424M agpgart: Detected an Intel(R) 855GME Chipset. agpgart: Detected 16252K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xd8000000 I'm trying to make a kernel config for U100's hardware and I discovered that enabling DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) for the i810, Xorg will stop working.. I've even found that 2.4.x is no good for this kind of laptop because it lacks core frequency and voltage management.. I think there's no way to hibernate it using 2.4 .. I'll start configuring a 2.6 in the next days.. It would be great to have a kind of repository for libretto's configs used in linux .. [] JA Tavares
