Current Issues
Hibernate (suspend to hard disk) option is offered by GDM and hibernate shutdown completed, however on starting ahead freezes after re-loading memory snapshot, and have to power off to and reboot normally. This works fine with SuSE 10.
Sleep (suspend to RAM) option not offered from GDM.
I don't believe there's a friendly way to configure external monitors for laptop in Ubuntu (either xinerama or mirror) and I haven't tried attempting it by editing xorg.conf. The laptop can manage to drive two monitors in 'mirror' config with OpenSuSE 10.
It's a shame the built-in cardreaders don't work, but I don't think there are any linux drivers around for these things anyway.

Notes
*CPU frequency scaling:the applet shows 800MHz / 46% - are you supposed to be able to change it? Does it mean my CPU is running at half speed?
*Touchpad - scroll down side: It worked to begin with but at some unidentified point today stopped working, and logouts or reboots don't help. No idea why.
*External display: Fn-F4 doesn't trigger anything or even attempt to switch displays. There is no keycode output by showkey for this: I guess the BIOS intercepts or something - it's the same for Fn-F7/Fn-F8 which control the brightness, and the wireless on/off key.
*Sleep - Fn-F5 doesn't trigger any action
*Lock - Fn-F6 is supposed to lock the machine (I think) but actually it ejects the CD drive instead! Quite handy.
Please file these as bugs on Malone against 'acpi-support', along with the keycodes (use 'showkey -s' from a console) or ACPI events 'tail -0f /var/log/acpid' that occur when pressing each of the buttons. -PaulSladen
- will test in Dapper before filing bugs
USB mass storage devices work fine.
Video: totem-gstreamer DVD playback is slow and jerky (even with DMA enabled); totem-xine is fine - not sure if this is problem with this laptop's hardware, or totem-gstreamer in general.
