Notes
X windows on the live cd would not run. Same problem after freshly installing the system. The Xorg ati driver does not like the x1400. Had to switch my video driver over to vesa or install the official ATI driver to make it work. Vesa mode wanted to do 1024x768 max. Official ATI driver works great.
Been trying to get wireless working... Kernel that comes on the cd does not have the drivers for it. The ipw driver that comes with the the 2.6.15-21 kernel contains errors.
{{{lori@Lethe:/etc/X11$ uname -a Linux Lethe 2.6.15-21-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 21 16:57:03 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux lori@Lethe:/etc/X11$ sudo modprobe ipw3945 Password: FATAL: Error inserting ipw3945 (/lib/modules/2.6.15-21-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw3945/ipw3945.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)}}}
Installed the driver from source manually... loads just fine but does not want to activate any wireless connections.
Had to install the -686 for SMP as its not availible on -386.
