Try vivisting www.elinux.com I know they sell TnikPads, but they have a lot
of experience setting up laptops with Linux. Typically, they use SuSE, but
they may be able to help you, or get you on the right track.
Also, SuSE seems to have a good development department when it comes to
hardware support. If you have trouble find servers to support your hardware,
a good place to look is SuSE...you may have to create symbolic links to tell
your distro where to look for the files the SuSE rpms install, but there a
lot more available through them in a more timely fashion.
