Boots from CD, don't have a bootable DVD to try
Writes CDs, reads CDs,l DVDs

Most seems to work, lid control isn't working for me, but I've put no
effort into it. APM works fine

X11 runs in 1400x1050, 24 bit colour. I can't get DRI to work in this

I'm running mine using the NDIS with the drivers which came with the
XP install

Only tried with a digital camera, works fine (Sony Cybershot given
away with the purchase)

pcm compiled in kernel, reports 
pcm0: <Intel ICH4 (82801DB)> port 0x18c0-0x18ff,0x1c00-0x1cff mem
0xd0000800-0xd

sound seems fine
