00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
Works, compile intel8x0 as a module, use ALSA and add useflag i8x0 to /etc/make.conf.
[edit] Graphics
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
Works quite well with ati's binary drivers, ati powerplay works, the only problem is running dual-head. For this reason I had to go back and use the xorg radeon driver.
[edit] Wireless LAN
Works, uses the ipw2200 driver. Follow this guide: HARDWARE ipw2200.
[edit] Touchpad
Enable in kernel, if you want all features enabled follow this guide: HARDWARE Synaptics Touchpad
[edit] 4in1 Cardreader
Does not work, have not found any proof that anybody got this (OZ711M1) one working yet, tho many reports that OZ711M3 works. Driver available here: [1]

Undervolting cpu, guide -> HOWTO Undervolt a Pentium M CPU In this laptop there's a Pentium-m 745 cpu. I undervolted the cpu with 0.2-0.3Volts at every frequence.
table:
1800 Mhz -> 1084 mV 1600 Mhz -> 1020 mV 1400 Mhz -> 956 mV 1200 Mhz -> 892 mV 1000 Mhz -> 828 mV 800 Mhz -> 700 mV 600 Mhz -> 700 mV
Up to an hour longer batterylife and less noise.
