i bought the same laptop last week and got little trouble using the graphic card under ubuntu 7.04 using dedicated drivers (i tried via, unichrome and openchrome and unfortunatly they didn't recognise the chrome9 vn896 chipset yet...but mentionned in Openchrome as not far from now).
... but i got a beautifull 1280x800 display fully functional using the standard vesa driver (after a little customization in the xorg.conf file!
and as i don't need 3D acceleration because i'm not a gamer, it's perfect, even to look videos.
I can send you my xorg.conf file whether you want, let me know.
(my remaining trouble is that the backlight of the LCD never turn off when i try to activate a powersave mode...)
Bye.
