XP/ FC1 on inspiron 5150

[ronnie escobedo]

I have a dell 5100.
I have not had the need to recompile the kernel. Our systems our similar. I 
also found drivers for the dell truemoblile /broadcom wireless g cards at:

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/?PHPSESSID=02c890f12a91ee06381cc7094d65cab0

acpi worked with out recompiling the kernel aswell
I just enabled the acpid service and added 'acpi = on' to the grub.conf

I also installed captive-ntfs, now I have read/write ntfs access

The only thing I have not been able to successfully implement is suspend


my system :

fedora 1/xp
2.6 pIIII
512 ddr2100
40 gig hdr
ati 7500
440x 10/100 NIC
Dell TrueMobile (broadcom) 1300 wireless g mini pci nic
