Things that need attention
WLAN card uses Broadcom BCM4306 chip. Its firmware cannot be included due to legal restrictions, but it is downloadable separately from certain Ubuntu reposity. See WifiDocs for details.
- 3D acceleration works out-of-the-box
- 'radeon' driver (the default driver) offers working 3D
- Beryl with AIGLX works great
glxgears -printfps reports 2035 frames per second
- 'fglrx' driver (non-free driver) offers near perfect 3D acceleration
- should support power states
- supports clock rate changes (longer battery life!)
- 'radeon' driver (the default driver) offers working 3D
- External display
- works with fglrx
- possible with radeon
- Plug external display and reboot. The external display is the only display then...
- Analog modem
Module is loaded, but SmartLink software modem daemon (sl-modem-daemon) needs to be installed
- Power states
- Suspend works
- Sound doesn't work after hibernation resume, but works again after suspend...

Notes and Comments
- Bluetooth mouse: Enable the BT device from the front panel (you should hear a sound). In console type 'sudo hidd --search' and press connect button on your mouse. Tested with Logitech MX900. (extra button configuration has been done elsewhere)
- Home and End keys: Why do they have to be behind the Fn key? Argh!
...can't do much about these :) -PaulSladen
- fglrx seems to be working again... I still need to double-check the power states and external display, but at least 3D works (Google Earth, Beryl w/XGL)
