               So you still have that Laptop or did you take it back?   I
guess the only alternative is to use XP??!

Do you mean the Compaq Presario 900 series?  It turned out that the
chipset is brand new and undocumented, so it caused tons of problems
with various Linux components.  This turned into one ugly Bugzilla
report and a mailing list with 50 members, and growing.

Radeon IGP chipset is not supported (eg Compaq Presario 900, HP z4115)

I don't know if this latest Red Hat beta has the changes necessary to
run this laptop.
