Use the e100 driver that Intel wrote. It is much better and runs

My audio works fine with stock kernel 2.2.16. i810_audio. I use RH 7.0.

I'm working on this. There is a driver for the 2.2.x series kernels,

open source their code.

Someone wrote a program to change LCD contrast. It works. Try:

Let me know of any other things you encounter.
