Linux on Acer TravelMate 4062

• Ubuntu 6.0.6 - nice, but does not use the 1280x800 screen resolution and wireless does not work

• OpenSuse 10.1 - configured the display correctly to 1280x800, wireless is OK, but the wired ethernet does not work. Second install: wired ethernet is OK. The NetworkManager applet could not connect to wireless, but disconnected the wired.
  

• Fedora Core 5 - Desktop/System Settings/Display knows the 1280x800 resolution, but the Desktop/Preferences/Screen Resolution does not. Wireless is not detected.
