No. Yes after installation of xorg-driver-fglrx, but than sleep and hibernate stop working. The external monitor also stops working at all in X. After upgrading to the fglrx packages from http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/ sleep and hibernate work again, however this version has some mouse cursor drawing artifacts. |

External monitor works? |
Yes, but resolution/refreshrate is wrong. It is a very old monitor however, so that may be part of the problem. After rebooting with the external monitor connected only the external monitor works, but in that case it is possible to select a correct resolution/refreshrate combination for the external monitor. |

Notes
[1] I've upgraded the BIOS to version 1.40.T1 (02/18/2005), which enables the software wireless switch by default. With older BIOS versions the acerhk kernel module is probably required to enable the software wireless switch, see LaptopTestingTeam/CompalCL56 for instructions how to do this.
