Notes
* I noticed in /var/log/acipd that the 600m has issues with vbetool, specifically segmentation faults. So I commented out the vbe sections in /etc/default/acpi-support. After those changes suspend to ram (sleep) worked. Standby mode also worked when configured in /etc/default/acpi-support.
To edit /etc/default/acpi-support, comment out the options SAVE_VBE_STATE and POST_VIDEO.
** Not sure if this is controlled by the bios or ubuntu because it worked on my gentoo intall without any custom configuration.
*** I used an 8-1 card reader and everything was detected and auto-mounted perfectly.
**** Need to enable acpi sleep in /etc/default/acpi-support.
More testing to come, I have only had Ubuntu on my laptop for a few days. I'll try and update as I find out new information.
