(great for a laptop) nor thermal, only AC and buttons) the keyboard starts working after a few key strokes the touchpad is only recognised after rmmodding and modprobing psmouse again the 2.6.8 based installer did not recognise the ati chipset, thus no UDMA (formatting 40G took one hour, installation was painfully slow with long disk sync intervals) the ati X700 is not recognised by XFree86 4.3, you have to mess with proprietary drivers - or use latest Xorg from unstable (no 3D acceleration then, though). In summary this thing was a mispurchase, the first and last time I bought something ATI based. Best regards Frederik Schueler -- ENOSIG
