Hi all.

Just wondering if any ones had any experience here with ASUS Laptops, especially with regards to running linux on them?


I know they work fine on the cheapie celeron ones. My tosh is fine apart from a lack of sound ( acpi I think, but it's not too high on the list of my requirements ) - tried 2.6.9-rc4, but that broke the nVidia display drivers.

Also has any one had any experience with Athlon64 laptops or at least Athlon based laptops also any experience with ATI based Mobility GPU's (9600, 9700) and 3D under linux would be appreciated.


nVidia driver is pretty goo, although can be tediously picky around kernel rebuilds ( and I had one cheapie nv card card that was completely unreliable ). Dunno about the ATI - my compaq dl-360 is ATI mach-64 rage and works fine, but I think you're after something slightly less stone age and portable than that!

Any comment about these would be appreciated.

Thanks

Chad
