Given the reliance HP have on Linux now, it wouldn't surprise me if
things hadn't of changed out of all recognition.

Which laptop was it that caused the problems? The only one I've had
problems with (recently) was an Asus4400 which uses the Intel 915
chipset and a ATI portable 9X (I think!) video chipset. I couldn't get X
to start.
