Notes

  • Display resolution: After installation 1280x1024 was automatically set. When setting monitor to "LCD Panel 1280x800 (Widescreen)" in kcontrol, the xorg.conf gets correctly updated BUT X will not set the correct resolution of 1280x800 on startup. When removing all other resolutions except 1280x800, 1280x800 works without problems.
  • TwinView using nvidia-settings detects the external monitor and can (auto) configure, but can not enable it (throws error).

  • I only have 100MBit equip, so I could not test a Gigabit connection.
  • The wireless works like a charm
  • Bluetooth works out of the box and can connect to my headset
  • KMix shows headphones as master and you have to disable the normal speakers manually when attaching headphones. The headphone mixer shown by kmix does not work though and both the normal speakers and the headphone jack is controlled by the pcm/front volume.
  • Suspend using the fn-key seems to work, but on resume the screen stays black.
