Current Issues

Major Issues:

NONE.

Medium Issues:

S-video TV-out very probably doesn't work (untested)
ExpressCard state unknown (untested, probably works)

Trival Issues:

Hardware Mute state not reflected in mixer
No on-screen display of magic keys
Back and Forwards do not make Firefox move (Actually, these keys are a Royal PITA because of their [mis-]placement).
Fn-Space does not 'zoom' to stretched 640x480 (how to recognise this key sequence?)
Suspend must be manually enabled in /etc/defaults/acpi
Num Lock non-functional: xmodmap -e 'keycode 77 = Num_Lock'
Accelerometer is not used to park hard-disk

Notes

==== Occasional/Erratic ==

DVD Won't eject as user; gives:

paul@katu:~$ eject /dev/cdrom
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
paul@katu:~$ sudo eject /dev/cdrom
*ejected*

==== Performance ===

$ which glxgears | xargs strings | grep benchmark | xargs glxgears
4913 frames in 5.0 seconds = 982.508 FPS

Hidden magic keys?

These are sequences when pressing Fn+$key does not produce a keycode, meaning that it's being magically eaten! (But where to?).
