Hardware details

Screen & Monitors

X fails out-of-the-box. It can be made to work by installing packages manually in the console. See bug 94314. The items marked with 'Yes*' below work when those instructions are followed; the remainder are non-functional in my hands. The results with and without the restricted driver are similar (surprisingly).
