| Nov 08 8.10: Hibernate key (Fn-F1) partially works. Mouse movement persists; left or right clicking usually doesn't. Battery: The Gnome power manager is installed (on a GNOME desktop) by default, and functions. To see battery status all the time, unplug the laptop to visualise the panel applet, right click it and select always visible in the General options. |

Current Issues
The numbers on the numeric keypad do not work. The "5" key produces mouse button 3, and the "+" key produces mouse button 1. The other number keys do not appear to register at all, but the numpad <enter> key works as it should. These effects are the same whether num lock is on or off, and they carry over to the USB desktop keyboard plugged into it.
Nov08 Solution: change System/Preferences/Keyboard/model to Dell 101-key; then on the same screen in Other options Change Numeric keypad layout selection to "Keypad with Unicode additions". Numlock light still not working, but the Numlock key now switches between arrow keys and number keypad.
2. sound not very loud- in some applications only.
3. Wireless: WEP works; WPA doesn't. Possibly a router issue and not Ubuntu.
4. Fingerprint reader: No driver currently(Nov 08) under development for Linux (see libfprint page)

Notes
The external screen (at least through the SVGA port) simply duplicates the laptop screen. The HDMI port is as yet untested. Turning off the laptop screen by closing the case also shuts down the SVGA screen.
When entering hibernate or suspend mode, often a popping sound is heard, like a power arc. This does not appear to happen in a normal shutdown.
Nov 08 8.10: Hibernate key (Fn-F1) partially works. Mouse movement persists; left or right clicking usually doesn't.
Battery: The Gnome power manager is installed (on a GNOME desktop) by default, and functions. To see battery status all the time, unplug the laptop to visualise the panel applet, right click it and select always visible in the General options.
