I wound up with this laptop since it was unstable running Windows and got scrapped. Runs OpenSolaris pretty darn well though! :-) Interestingly enough, with all the same hardware I had the machine crash and need to be rebuilt a half dozen times over a 2 month period. I haven't had any issues with it under OpenSolaris though in the two months since I've installed it.
In regards to Fedora, I didn't really have any font scaling issues with it other than the fixed size fonts it was scaling up and down. The vector based fonts seemed to be pretty good. The fixed size fonts were pretty bad though! I would definitely be interested in those drivers so long as I can roll back in the event of issues. Regards, Greg
