I have FC4 working on my hp pavilion zv5440. It has an
ALPS touchpad, nvidia 440, and and broadcom 4309 wifi.
I had to use ndiswrapper to get the wifi working, but
that was easy. It took a little tweaking to get the
touchpad scroll working, but the touchpad and usb
mouse worked out of the box. I haven't tried the
modem.
I took notes if anyone needs info on stuff I got
working. Oh, and I'm using the 32bit on it.
