RedHat Linux 9.0 works fine!

It works great on my Toshiba Satellite 2415-S205. No keyboard problem, sound card works, built-in ethernet card works, touch-pad woks. ACPI doesn't work out of the box, and I don't know how to make it work. Somebody please help me about this.

Just one issue about video card. To enable 3D applications work fast, you should grab the newest driver from NVidia, and it installs easily. But after first reboot, screen resolution is fixed to 800x600, log says it's because of EDID. I don't know what this EDID is, I found option to disable it. So "Device" section of my /etc/X11/XF86Config file looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
VideoRam 32768
Option "NvAGP" "3"
Option "Nologo" "false"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
