Not sure if that'll do anything... Nope. I've done a bit of searching. It looks like it is a VIA VT82C686 chip. There are drivers for Linux. Given the three fairly major problems I am having with this laptop: * no sound * flaky touchpad * XFree86 4.0 crashing if I switch to a console and then back I may just have to switch over to Linux.
