As I suspected. Will both the pad and usb-mouse work. Is there drivers for the ATI video avaible somewhere? Any other culprits to think about? Like: S-Video Out, the Fn-keys, IR-connections, Energie management, soundcard, hotswap cd/dvd -- Floppy etc?
It is extremely safe to install FC4. If you have any problems, post the output from "lspci -vv" I have Fedora working on two laptops; a very old Dell and a relatively new Sony. The only issue (on both) is the modem. If I really needed it, I could figure out one of the various solutions.
BTW, I have an ALPS touchpad and a USB Logitech. Both work on the Sony.
I have not tried with a Compaq but it works fine on a Dell Latitude D810 from Dell which I have double booted in FC4 and WinXP.
