HDAPS, Suspend-to-disk, Suspend-to-ram, tp-fancontrol and cpufreqd works |
| 16 |
just fine. |
| 17 |
lm_sensors won't work but you can get all the important information in |

x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati (6.6.3) works well. |
| 23 |
I don't think you need an up to date graphics driver for an old laptop. |
| 24 |
There are no more changes in the support for the Radeon Mobility 7500. |

There are different wireless cards used in the T41. |
| 29 |
Atheros AR5212 is well supported |
| 30 |
(madwifi, wpa_supplicant, etc.) |

Have fun! |
