Strange, it worked just fine for me. Which driver are you using? 6111 does not seem to build correctly (the installer will inform you of this, so pay attention at the end). 6629 works fine for me with 741_FC3 x86_64 without any patches. I am running an R3000Z as well :). One issue I had with it is that I needed to add the line: options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=0 to /etc/modprobe.conf, or the display wouldn't be quite right. Some other lists you might want to join: An R3000/zv5000 list: http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 The Redhat AMD64 list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/amd64-list There is some great info on the R3000 list for Linux issues with these laptops.
