I've got the Dell Latitude D600 (Centrino, ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 32
MB)

The Wlan card is unsupported yet (if you've got that). The AGP drivers
of the Kernel work fine (radeon driver loads without complaining) on
2.4.21-rc1. X needs a tweak, since the Radeon 9000 first will be
supported in 4.3.0. I've started documenting my setup at
http://www.marlow.dk/dell_d600

A lot of the PCI devices are still unknown though (Host Bridge, PCI
Bridge, ISA Bridge, IDE, CardBus Bridge) on lspci
