I think that it's PERFECTLY appropriate to subscribe to LKML and ask them about it. They are always interested in supporting new hardware. Often they are already working on it and can give you a schedule or tell you what kernel to build to get it working. My only point was they don't like the ati-drivers, not that they don't want to support machines if possible. Of course, ATI has to release specs for the Radeon driver to support it completely. I think they do that but somewhat slowly. Just my 2 cents, Mark > > > Had a recent similar issue with a sony laptop, for one of the employees. > It's an intel 965G.
