Notes
Used the binary drivers for the NVidia video card (installed using Envy) Had to change the controlled device for sound to the Surround device to get the hardware control to work. The webcam is detected, but I haven't tested it.
The HD-DVD drive doesn't seem to work for every CD/DVD. It mounts some that I have burned, but others it detects as blank. Manually mounting CD/DVD works okay (i.e. mount /dev/hda *if hda is the device (could also use /dev/cdrom)* works)
