Notes
3D Acceleration
Requires xserver-xorg-video-intel. Then change 'Driver "i810"' to 'Driver "intel"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. A more recent driver for Feisty can be found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943
"can't access tty" error on startup
(Bug #106864) Do modprobe piix && exit. I'm not sure how to fix this permanently, so you'll need to do this every startup.
WLAN
Install bcm43xx-fwcutter. Post-installation configuration may fail due to a 404 error, if so, change http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o to http://xeve.de/down/wl_apsta.o in /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh, and run sudo dpkg --configure bcm43xx-fwcutter
Card reader
In order to use the card reader, you may need to do sudo modprobe tifm_sd && sudo modprobe mmc_core.
Suspend & Hibernate
The system goes into both of these states successfully, however problems arise when coming out. After hibernation, the power button continues flashing and WLAN does not work. When trying to come out of suspension, the system powers off.
External Monitor
I haven't had a chance to test these, but the following may be useful:
