    i'm sure it's fine.
    i've run linux on 4 different laptops.
    if yo uhave patience you can get it to work.
    however, ATI's drivers for linux are terrible.
    nVidia is far superior on linux.
    it will work still, but you might have to configure more stuff, and even still have trouble with things like DVD playback (i did on an X1400)
