Hi Rick,

I am preparing to install Red Hat 8.0 on my hp ze5375us laptop, which apparently worked for you. Did the Red Hat drivers work out-of-the-box for you, or did you need to acquire additional drivers? Were there any web resources that you can pass along, or any tips that might help me get this installed?

Thanks,
Charlie

it worked out the box but no wireless, and the mouse pad was a little bouncy not sure why. and you have to use the "nofirewire nousb" command in the bootloader.

I just got a new HP 4500 I also had the same problem, but downloaded the synaptics drivers for linux on their website. It requires a kernel patch, but is well worth the effort, calms the mouse right down, Its fun to use now. I tried RH9 first, but found fedora the better choice, it found all the hardware.
