      • Screen rotates to all sides, but wacom tablet doesn't
        • Wacom tablet works only with clockwise, counterclockwise and normal setups.

Notes

  1. Num pad works perfectly when using it with Num Lock
  2. Integrated cardreader should read MMC, SD, MS and MS-Pro. Tested only with MMC and SD and miniSD. Doesn't find MMC. SD finds 1GB cards but not 2GB. Supports every memorycard if using usb-cardreader.
  3. Seems to go down just fine but waking up doesn't work. Restarting X fixes this. Sometimes going to hibernation fails and when trying to recover saved session is lost and new session starts
