1 I use Dell Latitude D410 which works fantastic. Only the graphics
2 chipset (intel) doesn't work in glx mode. Stable releases of Xorg
3 doesn't support i810 driver and you would have to install 6.8.99 masked
4 version. However glx mode doesn't work with or without dri snaphots
5 patched or not.

7 The funny thing is that loading any of the kernel modules related to
8 acpi slows down the computer (don't know how) without installing acpi
9 daemon nor cpufreqd just modprobing ie: speedstep-centrino does it.
10 (2.6.13, 2.6.14 kernels)
