No it is not, Actually is a 13.3" Centrino 2. with integrated Intel Cantiga
Mobile Series 4 Video Graphics. I tested it with Ubuntu 8.10 and it works
fine with 3d acceleration. I tried to add some masked packages but it is
really painful because more than the 60% of the system has to be unmasked to
get it working, I think that is because it is quit new hardware yet.

I tested ArchLinux too and it is worst! jejejeje..

Note on this : I have to say that I was trying all of this 2 months ago and
I am backing to try to get Gentoo working in my laptop, that is way I can
not give more precisely and complete information about the errors, I really
appreciate your responses. I know that it hard to help with poor information
about the problem. I am going to test gentoo again in a few days and as soon
as I can I will give you some details about the problems that I am
embracing.
