Does somebody know a model of a laptop on which all works fine with Linux?
Before I purchased my HP pavilion (amd64) I took a liveCD to the
store and just booted it up and got everything working, right
in the store. If you cannot find all of the device drivers,
take a usb flash and copy the results of lscpi, lshw, etc
onto the flash device. Copy any other files/data information
about the hardware, so you can research the linux compatibility options,
remotely.
Several trips might be necessary to get everything working....
That sounds like a good suggestion. I've got a Toshiba Tecra that I
love. I'd recommend against ATI video (Nvidia and Intel seem to work
much more reliably [read: at all] with the new XGL stuff, if you care
about that).

Cliff
