I am using an HP ze4365us, no APM. I had almost everything working under FC1, except suspend. I never tried to use the modem. The support under FC2 should be even better because the 2.6 kernel supports ACPI; however, I believe that many of the drivers still need to be updated support the different types of suspend (at least that's what I read a while back.) I have not had a chance to configure ACPI, I somehow lost my scripts during the upgrade. Pavilion ze4365us: ATI Radeon Mobility -- working USB -- working Audio (ALi M5451) -- Working Modem -- Recognized, driver installed, not tested Ethernet (DP83815) -- working Synaptics Touchpad -- Working (needed to install driver) Wifi (Atheros AR5212) -- Working (madwifi -- sf) This was an upgrade. Original Wifi worked under FC1 out of the box (Prism) Firewire -- Recognized, driver installed, not tested PCMCIA -- Recognized, driver installed, not tested PCMCIA did not work under FC1 even though it was recognized. I have seen messages that indicate that this is a bug in the drivers but I have not had a pressing need to trouble shoot this yet ... Power Management: CPU power control appears to be working. This is different the FC1 and I have not had time to figure it all out yet; however, it works to one extent or another right out of the box. Suspend to RAM/DISK: I have not really had time to work with this. Initial attempts to suspend to disk did not work, I probably need to do something. I was under the impression that suspend to disk worked better than suspend to RAM because of driver issue, at least with ACPI4Linux at sf. I think the 2.6 ACPI is based on this?
