[ltp] Linux on an i1460

[Robert Withers]

This actually seems to be a problem with Red Hat.  I just got SuSE 6.3
and BANG! no problems.   I configured X and first shot it worked.  I got
the new Lucent WinModem driver and (aside from forcing version
incompatibilities) it works.  My only hold ups are sound, DVD I am
waiting on ALSA.

The SuSE install is sweet.   I like it a lot as well as the new
enlightenment.

cheers,
Rob

PS  I have a 1480
