Hi Samuele I own ASUS laptop from A1 series. Though hardware in your model seems to be quite different, except the graphics part. I do not know if it helps, but you will certainly need this http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml if you want to get XFree running. Or have to use VESA framebuffer :(
I also found some other links concerning ASUS laptops (other models, but some bits of hardware can be the same as in yours) http://www.seindal.dk/rene/asus8400/ http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/asus.html although you r right - no specific info for the L2 series Also CHECK the modem - if it's winmodem, then 90% probability, that it will NOT be supported. It's the case for A1 series - everything works perfectly, except winmodem (in my case it's motorola).
