Hi, 

I got some mails about my acer travelmate 612tx in the last few days.
It's a quite new laptop

technical information:
mhz: 900/700(with speedstep)
ram: 128 (i upgraded to 256)
graphicchip: i815m (i had to patch the driver but now everything seems
to work alright)
sound: i810 (it works with the alsa driver, the kernel driver is
quite crappy for now 2.4.16 the kernel driver also slows down the movie
player(mplayer)!)
USB: works fine! (i tested it with my logitech quickcam + aiptek pc
tablet (the docs about how to install that pctablet aren't really good
you mustn't load the usbmouse module otherwise it acts but doesn't work
alright)
battery: between 2-3 hours depends on what you are doing, movies < 1h i
think
IrDA: supported but i haven't tested it with linux (4 mbit)
nic: eepro100
smartcardreader: not supported

X works fine without any problem i use patched driver it corrects that
overlay problem (shell.dnload.com:55555/overlay.jpg) (driver
shell.dnload.com:55555/i810_drv.o  .. of course no warranty i lost
the sources after a crash just look at the mailing list i mailt the
changings in the i810_driver.c)
the i815m graphicchip supports only 24bit

The laptop is 3 cm thin (2cm main computer 1cm display)

I like the natural design of the keyboard
