I agree 100%. The other thing that MUST work well is USB and hotplugging.
I will not go into my trials and experiences here but suffice it to say that
as of 9.0 USB detection needed some help. I KNOW this is partially due to
hardware vendors not always following standard USB protocols (eg USB

Another thing that has been done/updated to the 2.5
kernel. You guys do NOT know how to do your research and are requiring
things NOW that is almost impossible to do overnight. Most companies have
not given their HW specs to open source programmers and therefore have to
reverse engineer and

Now you state which kernel you were using, would have been helpful earlier.
My two cents on where Linux in general and Mandrake specifically needs
to go for modern laptops is full ACPI support, cpufreq or similar, and
