the stock i810 driver SUCKS, but this experimental i810 driver works very well Here's my xorg.conf
- Note that you can do dual-monitors!
Network
built-in ethernet auto-detected
Intel 2200 needs the ipw2200 driver. You can get it pre-compiled from ATrpms. (If you use swsusp, however, you can use the one in that rpm (don't know what version it is though) or roll your own)
TVout
Haven't tried it.
Built-in card reader
Auto-detected
Modem
Haven't tried it.
Software Suspend
Works. You should get rpms from Matthias Hensler's page and also use the i855 resolution hack to make sure it works properly. Also make sure that you clean out all remnants of old software suspend versions. Trash your /usr/local/share/hibernate directory, for instance.
Last known working rpm from that page: 2.6.10-1.766_FC3_cubbi2_swsusp2
I had trouble with .770
