## List any issues you have with the current development release here
The disable touchpad button doesn't work. [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/31063|Bug# 31063]]

The webcam doesn't work.  There is a community driven project underway: [[http://m560x-driver.sourceforge.net/]].

The memory card reader only works with sd and mmc [1]: Ricoh [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/36964|Bug# 36964]]

Wifi LED doesn't work [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/189889|Bug# 189889]]

External monitors flicker, especially when typing quickly.  According to Thomas Winischhofer at www.winischhofer.net:

{{{ 
My advice: Don't buy a machine with a SiS760 unless this machine has dedicated local video memory. And please don't complain about "driver bugs" if you see "flashing lines" on the screen; these are the typical effects of a bandwidth problem and unavoidable - even the Windows driver can't do better. In such cases, reduce the resolution and/or refresh rate and/or color depth, or use one output (CRT1 or CRT2) only. Sorry, can't help it. There is no driver bug involved.
}}}

'sis' driver included in X.org 7.4 (used by Ubuntu 8.10) doesn't work - screen snows making the driver unusable. One has to use 'vesa' driver instead; it provides worse performance, though. [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/264769|Bug# 264769]]
