Hello H. (?),

i have an a 5150 (the one with ATI graphics, older version) and so far i 
can say everything works quite fine. Although i first had troubles with 
ACPI (kind of description and access-point to components like processor 
frequency, temperature etc.), now it seems to work fine. I am actually 
running sarge/some sid on it.

If you have any detailed questions, don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Dirk
