Re: Asus L2460D

Hi Samuele

I own ASUS laptop from A1 series.
Though hardware in your model seems to be quite different, except the graphics
part.
I do not know if it helps, but you will certainly need this
http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml
if you want to get XFree running. Or have to use VESA framebuffer :(

I also found some other links concerning ASUS laptops (other models, but some
bits of hardware can be the same as in yours)

http://www.seindal.dk/rene/asus8400/
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/asus.html

although you r right - no specific info for the L2 series

Also CHECK the modem - if it's winmodem, then 90% probability, that it will NOT
be supported. It's the case for A1 series - everything works perfectly, except
winmodem (in my case it's motorola).

Cheers 

Roman
