I have a compaq 12XL430 running 7.1 and it works very well. The only difficulty I've experienced is that I cannot boot directly into 1024 x 768 video mode. I have to boot to the command line and then run startx to use that one mode although I can boot directly into any lessor video mode. Sound, video, pcmcia, it all works. Its a dual boot laptop with me having been pre installed when i bout it about 15 months ago. the only thing i don't like is the battery life but i guess 3 hours on a charge isn't terrible even though it was quoted at 4; however, its only three under 7.1; me gives about 2.5. dave
