to the kernel towards the same goal.

add the acpi patch to your kernel and compile all acpi drivers in. your

I used to have this model, I really enjoyed using it.
Especially the screen mounted thumpad / finger buttons, I've never seen that

But at 166mhz...well, it's a shame they don't make faster ones, I expect
it's to do with cpu speeds / power / heat or something.
