The card reader does not work unless you boot with a card inside (tested with SD, see bug #258446).
- The fingerprint reader works (using fprint related packages)
- There is a Bluetooth button to switch it on/off BT Radio, but this model doesn't have builtin Bluetooth.
- There are two special keys up the arrow keys with the symbols € and $ (in spanish keyboard), but they don't work.
- Audio output for Headphones seems not to work.
- Headphones output is bound to Surround in mixer (jaunty alpha5)
