recently purchased this laptop, and i am very frustrated with sony's
horrible support.

just wanted some advice, it used the Rage Mobility chipset -- which X driver
should that use? it didn't seem to work with the normal SVGA server, and i
noticed the chipset was Mach64 so i replaced the server with the Mach64
server and it works.. but is this the best way to do it? i could also use
framebuffers .. is this better?

also the laptop has a yamaha ds-xg sound card.. what module does this use?
it's not auto-detected for some reason.. (under RH 7.0)

i guess there is no hope in getting a conexant soft56 modem working?

any suggestions on dealing with acpi?

thanks
