That's often the problem with first having the hardware and then deciding
to install linux on it.
Heck, hardware's not a problem as long as 1) you write all your own
drivers, or 2) you don't buy anything manufactured in the last 2 years. Of
course, even this doesn't hold for video cards. Unless you have free year
to tweak the X config, you're going to have black bars all around the
screen (although truthfully, I've never seen an installation that didn't --
on Linux).
