Re virtualization, I recommend the free open source VirtualBox, which
works fine under Win7.

I would run windows under linux, if I had a working installation of

virtualization, even with a legal install disk and license number. I no
longer have handy access to windows. Buying it outright is worse than not
worth it...

Oh, sorry. For some reason I thought you were referring to the special
IBM keys (Fn, access IBM etc)

I assume you are talking about the Lenovo 3000 series, which Hetz described in
this thread. Do you have anything more to say about this laptio (besides what
Hetz told, in which partly disagree).

Hi,
Do others agree that Lenovo != IBM?
The team that was designing and developing the thinkpad series has
been sold to Lenovo. Lenovo was already manufacturing the Thinkpad for
IBM before Lenovo bought IBM Thinkpad Division.
The 3000 V100 series is their move away from the R series (Value)
I have an HP NC8000 Notebook that works flawlessly with linux.
It uses an atheros based wifi card that requires the free madwifi module.
Ubuntu has it preinstalled, debian has a source package (madwifi-source) you
can download and build with the debian package tools.
Everything else works out
Hi Oded,
The Lenovo 3000 series also works rather well, but people are having
issues with sound supports (ICH8 - external speakers aren't turned off
when headphones are plugged in), screen resolutions (i945 - can't enable
native 1280x900 resolution in X, always goes back to 1024x768) and
camera

I'm using a T43, which sadly lacks the windows and menu keys - they're
ton useful, I always need more shift states,
Imho HP have a good money/value ratio. Bug has some of them. Try here:
http://www.bug.co.il/productpage.asp?c=320t=20
You should get as much warranty as possible (without paying extra). HP
also runs Linux w/o problems usually.

Lenovo != IBM in the sense that IBM is no longer in control. The factory
is the same (in theory). In practice, things may have changed (not
necessarily to the worse, quality control wise):

Quoting David Harel, from the post of Sat, 17 Jun:
Greetings,
My machine has Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03).
I installed xf86-video-i810-1.6.0 driver and I followed the
recommendations at:
Low tech solution: did you try to fiddle with the switch in the lid that
switches the screen on and off when opening and closing the lid? works for me
when apm messes up a little, both under X and in console.

In addition
* I've tried reinstalling the 2.2 kernel without apm support and the
problem (the screen blanking after 5 minutes and then keyboard/mouse not
working after) still occurs
Also, made a type with my setterm statements. What I tried was:
setterm -powersave off
setterm -blank 0
You didnt tell what monitor you've configured.
try :
Section "Monitor"
Identifier"LCD Panel 1024x768" (or "LCD Panel 800x600")
VendorName "UnKnown"
ModelName "Unknown"
why not to use XF86Setup ?
laptop tips:
do : 'man -k pcmcia' - lots of commands, do man and read.
Well, let me try to help here (although I don't have Chicony Laptop)
Grab the latest X server (SVGA) and XConfigurator from the PIGLET
(Redhat 6.2 beta) - this should solve your problem.
Oh, in Redhat XF86Config sits on /etc/X11/ - not /etc/
