I tried it. On my PC with a Matrox MGA G200, it works nicely, detecting
the card without any problem, and no more graphics memory corruption.
On this PC, which has only 64MB RAM, starting OOo is *extremely* slow.

On my laptop (IBM T23), it seems it has a real big problem to read from
the DVD drive, so it is _extremely_ slooow to boot, and unusable
afterwards anyway.
I can read the following error line during bootup:
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST ... error=4<ABORTED>

Where should I change the keyboard mapping? It doesn't ask for anything,
but the result is that it does not get alone to a graphical environment,
nor does allow to change the keyboard mapping at boot.

Also, the motd is not yet personalized.

Hope it helps
