    Hear hear!

    I've stuck together a guide for the Compaq Evo n1015v[1], but it's pretty
    out of date. I'm currently configuring a thinkpad x40 too. I'll be sure
    to fire my stuff your way.

    I think there is interest in getting better laptop support into Etch,
    e.g. a laptop task during installation. If this site could help get
    people who are willing to work on this, or test things, make suggestions
    etc. maybe that would be a good idea.
