1400x1050 resolution patch here (below)

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/

I think the main criteria for buying a laptop for Linux is the screen resolution, SXGA+ should be the minimum criteria. If you can't get this HP Laptop right now, try buying OEM Asus M3700. You can buy one without MS on it. I just got one 3 months ago, 1400x1050 res PCLinuxOS works on this laptop. It resemble like (Apple iBook is also made by Asus).(Asus also makers of IBM Think and Ipod mini :-)).

As I wrote before, 855resolution is not a complete solution as it doesn't survive a suspend/resume. I haven't found a way yet to patch the BIOS on resume before the X server is restored and the result is that X simply doesn't get restored. So, if you don't care about suspend/resume it works fine but on a laptop suspend/resume is one of the main features so the 855resolution program is NOT a fix for the resolution problem.
