Running FC4 on a Compag Presario M2000, X in 1024x768, the Ethernet
works fine, the 802.11G interface is using NDIS, mouse (touch pad)
works fine. I haven't tried to use the dual monitor setup or the
TV (S-Video) out. The USB works fine so far (Camera, USB sticks,
Labjack, floppy and hard  drives). The sound is annoying. I down
loaded a commercial trial driver and lost the instructions on how
to use it :-). I haven't had time to play with the modem. Oh, I
dual boot, I have to use Word for a project I'm using though
Office does work better (long story).
