Anyone have a recommendation on a current model laptop that works fairly well with rhel5 64bit and a xen kernel? I know ATI and Intel video both work fairly decently out of the box, not sure about nvidia. I looked at RedHat's HCL, and there were very few laptops, mainly Dell Precision e6300and IBM [TX]61.
Dell Precision M4300 are supported by Dell running RHEL 5.x x86_64. I haven't had the pleasure to run Xen on one, though. Everything else one expects to work (sound, hibernation, etc.) kind of works out of the box. We install NVidia's proprietary drivers to get Dual Head support (and all the other niceties) along with firmware for the Intel 4965 wireless module.
The more recent model, M4400, should also work. Its wireless card (Intel 5100 or 5300) should be supported through Intel's iwlwifi but whether it works with RHEL 5.2 (current) or one needs to wait for 5.x I cannot say.
