Hotplugging works after installing a 2.6.7 or greater kernel. 2.4.x kernel with hotplug will freeze your system on bootup because of the ieee. using xorg 6.8.1 the video card works by default using the radeon driver. to get the battery monitor working add these lines to rc.local:
Code:
modprobe battery
modprobe ac
modprobe button
the only issue I have is not to expect much out of the video card, you will get enough speed out of it to watch dvds just great, but gl applications run really badly. the best i could get was ~300fps with glxgears
also I was installing this on my gf's laptop with a be keyboard layout. Everything works except the multimedia buttons. I think I heard there is away to get them working with omnibook program, i would look it up on sourceforge. I plan on experimenting with it next time i get a chance to play with the laptop (which will be awhile) but I will edit this post when i figure it out.
