Ahh. i've got the RS480 ;-) though not using the
onboard graphics as
it's got no dvi out. I'll try with 2.6.16 and see how it goes though.
2.6.17 (proabbly .16 as well) finally fixed the 'clock runs twice as fast as it
should' bug that has plagued my RS480 notebook. MSI nor ATI has been able to issue any
kind of definitive fix for the instability problems - the only solution is don't run
PowerNow (the crash tends to happen in a speed state transition) or run the RAM at 333
instead of 400. i'd steer clear, maybe the bug is fixed in the 482 but who knows.. ATI
doesnt have a very good track record with linux..
