read flamage for two hours.
the r505 is here :) got it working pretty much. Fn-Esc doesn't seem to suspend, and doing Fn-F12 suspends but i couldn't get it to unsuspend (some people apparently call this "resuming"). apm might be broken on it entirely, and i don't have network so i can't get acpid. the internal ethernet works and xfree 4.1.0 supports the i815 video chipset. whee.
12 inch screens are so big. time to make my fonts smaller again. and the display on this thing is nice. i can really see the e-table line coloration (which i couldn't really see before). perhaps that is a gamma correction thing.
and so the week begins anew: algiers, charlie's.
