Current Issues
-The screen brightness can't be changed so far, none of the tools worked for this laptop (this is the biggest problem because it's almost impossible to stay watching such a bright screen, so I hope this problem will be solved soon. There are people working very hard to find a solution). |
-Hibernation and suspend don't work |

Notes
Sorry if the lay out is a little different from the other wiki's, but I'm having some problems with Firefox, feel free to edit the lay out, or to add working features.
I found this:
The folder /proc/acpi/video/GFX0 contains:
Folders: DD01 DD02 DD03 DD04 DD05
Files: DOS info POST POST_info ROM
Each of the folders contains: Bestanden:
brightness EDID info state
In the folder DD04, the file brightness contains:
levels: 100 100 4 16 28 40 52 64 76 88 100 current: 0
In the other folders: <not supported>
The file info contains each time:
device_id: 0x0000 type: unknown known by bios: no
I can change the brightness file, when I then do "cat brightness", I see that the current value changed, but the actual brightness remains the same. I hope it'll be supported in the next driver release from Nvidia.
I sent a mail to Nvidia, the answer:
Hello,
There have been recent reports of problems changing brightness. Can you generate and provide an nvidia-bug-report.log so we have another test case to work with.
Thanks, Roland
I think this means "Hope":-)

Some people had issues with them, have a look here for how to fix it: http://atelier.inf.unisi.ch/~rigottifr/fz21m.php
