Thanks for the info, Andy.  I didn't realize that Compaq was already 
using different chipsets.  That is always a problem with Compaq laptops.
The configuration filet that I sent works with the LM chipset.  

Gerardo, as Andy and I both said, send us a dmesg and/or scanpci, if the
configuration file doesn't work.
