Current Issues
3D acceleration doesn't work with "ati" (open source) drivers, glxinfo says: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Startup and shutdown splash screen is ugly: I can't see no colors, all is black, grey and white, shapes are not clean.
Lots of errors of this kind: [ 6485.930487] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)

Notes
* Can't tell whose fault it is, but when listening and in the meanwhile recording, frequency of recorded sounds is approximatly a half of real. I noticed it on Audacity, recording while listening to recorded tracks. It happens every time, with both the "mic" and the "line in" jacks. Seems like data input rate is a half of what the driver expects.
** the modem monitor asks me for the modem port; I try the automatic recognizing, it doesn't work
*** Onestly I don't find a difference even when I do it under Window, except an icon appearing on taskbar; I say "no" just because nothing appears in dmesg
**** In Dapper the wireless LED didn't enlight (and wireless didn't work) without the acer_acpi module (downloaded from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html and very easy to install and to use). In Edgy, it does enlight but wireless still doesn't work. bcm43xx still doesn't work correctly, but maybe it's because I can't find the right driver to feed bcm43xx-fwcutter
