Rest of it runs just fine. Important hint: try the 2.4.23 or 2.6.0 kernels. Those have important ACPI fixes for the buggy BIOSes of Centrino laptops. And you'll need XFree v4.3 for the DRM/DRI intel stuff. Drivers for the onboard stuff will probably be released somewhere in the first quarter of '04. I'll probably attend the meeting too!
