Acer Aspire 1203XV (1200 series) I use Red Hat 7.2 (2.4.9-31 kernel), and it fully supports everything I need, everything is ok, btw I didn't check usb, and other ports like IEEE 1394, S-video jack... but now I don't need them, if you use them successfully, let me know. ->> Modem For Lucent Winmodem, you need ltmodem modules, you can find them at: http://www.heby.de/ltmodem (If you have a red hat too: http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/dists/redhat/current/) I used kppp successfully. ->> Video For graphics I used Xconfigurator, those settings worked for me: S3 Savage Pro4+ -> Custom -> Monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 74mhz -> 50-90 Hz. ->> Sound sndconfig automatically found a VIA AC97 Audio Controller. ->> Notebook Specs My dmesg: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009f000 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000c0000 - 00000000000cc000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 0000000005ef0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0000000005ef0000 - 0000000005eff000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 0000000005eff000 - 0000000005f00000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 0000000005f00000 - 0000000006000000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff80000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Scanning bios EBDA for MXT signature On node 0 totalpages: 24576 zone(0): 4096 pages. zone(1): 20480 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
