IMHO, It would have been better you test run any of the latest Knoppix
or Mepis before installing anything on an untested laptop; both the
distros provide good automated hardware detection and configuration and
come with kernel 2.4.x (default) and 2.6.x as a boot prompt option.

BTW, looking at the following you may find more pointers:

Good luck!
