Btw., i'm currently using Compaq R3000, and everything works, more or
less. I did have to use ndiswrapper for wireless, and wait for FC3
before my sound started working. Other than that, except the the
built-in modem, and the fact that i can't turn off/on wireless using the
hardware (have to do it from UI or command line) everything works.
Desktop sounds on Gnome are a little weird, but that's probably a gnome
thing. KDE sounds, and movies, and music play just fine.
