Thanks. Peter
My video driver is ATI Mobility 9, it works perfectly in Fedora in 1400 x 1050 resolution, the resolution of my 15" screen. Modem (winmodem!) has driver from SMLink.com. Sound card was detected correctly. USB 2.0 ports work with my external hard drive.
I run Windows XP Home (sold with the laptop) doing some Delphi programming. And I am using/learning Linux.
Our church is moving totally to Linux for desktop work and intranet within the office. We're going to have WiFi. I don't have a WiFi card, even though my laptop has a slot for built-in card (I saved some money buying a WiFi-less box). But I will report my progress later.
I am so glad that Fedora is working smoothly on my laptop. I am waiting for Linux to learn how to suspend to hard disk like Windows XP does when I close the laptop.
Timothy.
