Notes

Video:

To get the 1280x768 screen resolution, launch the Synaptics Package Manager and install 'xserver-xorg-video-intel' package

Sound:

To activate the sound it follows the steps below:

Using KMix from the KDE Panel
Click on the Blue Speaker
Click on the Mixer Button
Click on the Switches Tab
Click on 'External Amplifier" so that the yellow dot is not highlighted
Close the open window.

It should keep the settings through reboot, mine did.

Touchpad:

I would recommend changing this section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I added the last two Option lines. They let you run the synclient command to interact with the Touchpad, and correct the size of the scroll area on the right of the touchpad.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
        Option          "SHMConfig"             "1"
        Option          "RightEdge"             "5750"
