Notes

1. Sleep functionality doesn't work out-of-the-box - haven't got it going yet, but haven't spent much time on it. Hibernate works o-o-t-b.

2. Modem required installation of slmodem package -  aptitude install sl-modem-daemon  - after which it worked without configuration... Just started the Ubuntu network configuration software and there it was.

3. Added the M3N wireless module (internal Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG), booted, and there it was in the network configuration app - no configuration needed. Might require a second reboot after first configuration to ensure correct firmware is inserted...
4. Sat down a few nights ago and figured out how to configure Xinerama (dual headed display - extended desktop) with the i810 graphics system and Xorg. The following is my xorg.conf:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Works great with both my ViewSonic E95 and my Philips 109s40 monitors. Both run at 1024x768 - not sure if different resolutions between the LCD and external monitors are either possible or desirable...
