Current Issues
- Touchpad settings (i.e. none but the defaults) are usable but rather odd for the extra-wide touchpad.
Setting Option "SHMConfig" "true" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf would allow setting and experimenting with touchpad settings using the command-line synclient.
The headphone ALSA driver control is named Front.
