I have a T42 2378DXU running Debian Sarge.

Graphic card is ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]

I ended up installing xorg drivers from Ubuntu Hoary, because nor 
Xfree86 4.3.0 nor ATI proprietary drivers were doing fine (when you 
try to get ACPI _and_ 3D working together things mess up). With X 
6.8.2 things go smoothly.

I don't know about your WiFi card, mine is ipw2200.

Just my 2 cents.
