[PlanetCCRMA] Running a Lenovo ThinkPad R400 or T400 on a Fedora12/CCRMA setup

[Niels Mayer]

What are people's opinions of running Fedora13/14/CCRMA on
the new Athlon II Neo K625 multicore "netbook" processors which appear
to be recycled desktop Athlon-II's run at low voltage and low
power..... it uses a more up-to-date version of the integrated ATI
graphics chipset that's basically the same as my current desktop RS780
with integrated Radeon graphics controller -- but  with double the
onboard "sideport" graphics memory ... and these have been getting
better support in later kernels -- but already works fine since F11
for me w/ KMS turned off. Just incase people are interested in a more
"open sourcy" AMD/ATI option:
