Does it use the intel 855 chipset? if so - you'll need the 855patch to
steal system ram for the graphics card, it's piss easy to do - google
for 855patch.
Also, on my latitude d400, acpi only started working after 2.6.2, prior
to that it would give nonsensical values and tell me my battery was a
non rechargable device.
