Current Issues
PaulSladen: the machine comes with a broken ACPI DSDT ("buggy BIOS"):
sudo apt-get install iasl sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt iasl -d dsdt

This is great and means that suspend now works... however, the little icons in the top-left hand corner now destory the mouse pointer as they don't restore it after borrowing it. (Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Alt-F7).
MichaelWood3: This was needed to get the mouse wheel and middle button to work correctly edit the xorg.conf and change the values for this section to look like this:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
PaulSladen:The Scrollwheel (also the middle button) is not working correctly. Apparently it was under Breezy, so this is a regression.
PaulSladen: MemoryStick carder is a Cardbus/PCMCIA device that is "plugged in" when a flash card is inserted. No idea how to drive it.
PaulSladen: I wrote some acpi-support card for the VGA switching, but this might "just work" with a fixed DSDT anyway. Something isn't quite right, if you set the status to crt on lcd off, it actually returns crt on lcd on when queried. We worked out that the card does some fancy detection on whether a monitor is plugged into the secondary vga out.
PaulSladen: Can't work out how to get the battery key (or preferably, disable the hardware status icons). But the WWW, MAIL and TICK keys are: [https://launchpad.net/bugs/23165 #23165].

I have problems with the Flight 4, and Flight 5. When Setup is installing the Xorg Server, it crashes down, and turn black the screen.
