I have a lattitue d620. For fedora 6 and 7 I couldn't get it
to work on 
my encrypted wireless but fedora 8 worked. It is not,
however 
straightforward since fedora is not allowed to ship the
drivers for the 
broadcom wireless. You will have to retrieve the drivers,
use fwcutter 
and set it up yourself. It would be nice if fedora supplied
a script 
that magically did all of the work after you retrieved the
drivers.

Sorry, I can't help with the graphics card.
