i've gotten gentoo to work on my two year old pentium-m laptop... still have you  tried opensuse? opensuse has good device detection, almost as good as ubuntu if not equal. and ubuntu 6 i find to be a good distro that was also able to detect even my wifi card on that old laptop. 

cheers.

If the latest version of SimplyMepis works on your setup, then Ubuntu
6.06.1 should also work since SimplyMepis is now derived from Dapper.

But if it still doesn't work with Dapper, then I guess SimplyMepis'
development methodology for xorg is better ;)
