Perhaps this one's close enough, hardware-wise:

It's not 2585, but should not be too far from it. I use FC2 on a Compaq 
Presario 920EA, and it all works great, except for 3D hardware 
acceleration, which isn't supported on the Radeon 320/340IGP, afaik. 
(ACPI suspend almost works, only some problems with the ALI IDE controller)

Boot your laptop with some live CD distro (a recent Knoppix is a good 
choice), do an 'lspci', and compare the output with the list on the link 
above, to see any significant hardware differences, if there are any.
