I'm running 1.6 on the T30 on which I'm replying to your message.
It has worked quite well for me. I had to make two changes to the
GENERIC_LAPTOP conf file to get things working for me (others helped
me find the problem.)
First to get the 802.11 to work, I had to add:
wi* at pci? dev ? function ? # Wireless
Next, X wouldn't run. It kept seg faulting. Finally, I heard that
others got X working by commenting out agp .... and it now works.
#agp* at pchb?
It has been working quite well for me. apm works fine. KDE has played
some sounds ... but I haven't taken the time to find out why the kde CD player
doesn't work.
The only thing I have not liked about but haven't had time to investigate
is that no com* appears to be found.
