[gentoo-laptop] Acer 5102WLMI Install, anyone else have one or any in Acer Aspire 5100 Series?

[nick thompson]

I have just bought a really nice Acer laptop, with AMD Turion64 X2 TL-50
dual core cpu, a gig of ram, ATI Radeon Express 1100 PCI-Express 200M 
chipset graphics card with 512 megs of ram (128 mb of that taken from my 
gig of ram! damn on board graphics! but still, ati and amd merging? 
wow.) Bluetooth, DVD+-DL RW drive, 120 meg IDE drive (though some claim 
to think it it's sata, I am pretty damn sure from the kernels I've 
compiled that I got the cheapy model with IDE and not Sata, especially 
because the Sata goes up to 160gb I know) , one PC card slot (no express 
card slot :[ ) 4 USB 2.0 Ports, a 5 in 1 media reader, Atheros wireless 
that works with madwifi-ng, a beautiful 15.4" WXGA screen 1200x800, and 
the usual headphone mic line out vga out (no dvi out, cheapy model) 
10/100 ethernet not gigabit (cheapy model) , a 56k modem (I don't think 
it's a winmodem, haven't tried it yet) , and I think that's it, maybe I 
am forgetting something whatever.
  Anyway, does anyone on the list have a laptop of this model, or in the 
Aspire 5100 series? Or any recent Acer laptop that is close at all. Just 
wondering, I'd love to trade notes. :)
