As I've now upgraded my desktop to Fedora 12 successfully, I'll be updating the X120 shortly (maybe the weekend, if I'm lucky). At that point I'll revisit the HAL patch and report back. If I forget, please ping me!

I have a samsung x120 too, and I have problems with keyboard, but above all with the impossiblity to turn the brightness up and down and to turn off the wireless... I have also updated the kernel to the latest version (2.6.32-11), but nothing changed... Could you explain me how did you manage to get it work please? Thank you! Hi!
