DRI support is present starting from XFree86 4.3.0. However, it segfaulted on my machine until i updated to 4.3.99.902, so 4.4.0 should work. OpenGL apps were still very slow until i set the R200_NO_TCL environment variable. It disables hardware TCL support, so i guess the driver is still buggy in this field.
 
Now i'm getting framerates a bit below 600 fps with glxgears, which i think is quite ok for a PCI based card in a dock.

===PCMCIA===
 
 
 
Just enable the PCMCIA support in the kernel configuration and with it the cardbus driver and the thing will work great.
 
I tested a Xircom CardCaddy as well as some other CompactFlash adapter. Both worked.

====Docking Station (IBM ThinkPad Full Dock II)====
 
The thing works great.
 
PCMCIA and all the ports were recognised by default.
 
The docks IDE interface is a CMD 648, so you should enable the according kernel option (building as module didn't work for me), if you want to use anything else than a floppy in the docks UltraBay.
 
Note that the interface will most likely be ide2 and ide3 then, so the docks UltraBay drive will be hde.
 
 
 
===Power Management===
 
 
 
The T41p is APM and ACPI capable.
 
more coming...
