Notes

Anchor(resolution)

Resolution

After the installation the resolution seems to be correct although System/Preferences/Screen Resolution shows 1200x1024 instead of 1280x800. This can be corrected via displayconfig-gtk

Anchor(harddrive)

Harddrive

Noises originating from the harddrive seem to be originating from a problem with the power-saving settings of the harddisk. The problem is discussed [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 here (bug 59695)] and [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104535 here (bug 104535)]
I used the following work-around taken from [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 here (bug 59695)]:
1. make a file named "99-hdd-spin-fix.sh". The important thing is starting with "99".
2. make sure the file contains the following 2 lines:
```
hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
```
3. copy this file to 3 locations:
```
/etc/acpi/suspend.d/
/etc/acpi/resume.d/
/etc/acpi/start.d/
```
