    I have Fedora Core 1 installed on my Thinkpad X20. I have hardware 3D
    acceleration going (using the mach64 DRI drivers downloaded from the DRI
    homepage), my Lucent winmodem working(ltmodem drivers), and my onboard
    Intel ethernet going. Sound and everything else works without problems.

    Has anyone tried to use Fedora Core 2 on a similar Thinkpad? Does Fedora
    Core 2 ship with the DRI modules for the Mach64 chips (Rage Mobility P/M,
    to be specific - not a Radeon)? If not, do the snapshots at
    http://www.freedesktop.org/~dri/snapshots/ work, or has anyone built the
    modules?

    Does the ltmodem driver work with FC2? I
    had to tweak the makefiles to get the driver to compile under FC1, but it
    did eventually work.

    How about sound for a Crystal CS4281? I currently
    use the OSS drivers but was wondering if anyone's had trouble getting ALSA
    working on a similar card?

    I also currently use APM (suspend,
    Thinklight, volume controls, etc.)- does APM still work with Fedora Core
    2?

    I'd like to try out the new Gnome/etc. in Fedora Core 2, but not if it
    means that my main work machine will end up as a paperweight. :)

    Machine specs:
    Thinkpad X20
    Graphics: ATI Rage Mobility P/M (800x600 LCD panel)
    Sound: Crystal CS4281
    Modem: Lucent Microelectronics LT WinModem (rev 1)
    Ethernet: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]
    Processor: Celeron 500 MHz
    RAM: 320M
    HD: Hitachi Travelstar HTS548040M9AT0 (40GB/5400 RPM)
