Warnings noted above

Gutsy

  1. The computer suspends and restores session correctly, but there is a problem with X (black screen).
  2. Volume level 100% is quite OK. But below 60% you can't hear a thing.
  3. Headphone jack works, but sound is not isolated to it. You can hear sound on both headphones and speakers.

Hardy

  1. External monitor turns on but and shows what the laptop screen is showing but because the resolution of the second screen is higher there is some extra working space. (panels are on the coordinates of the smaller resolution)
  2. Bluetooth is detected, but enabled only in reboot sequences and only after booted OS was Windows Vista.

Intrepid

  • July 14, 2008
    1. Wireless adapter is found and recognized, but is not configurable.

    2. Bluetooth is not powered on. In former tests (Hardy) if windows had previously powered on the device then it was found by Hardy and managed properly, until computer power off (the device stayed active during reboots). Can't verify this. (windows not present on the computer).

    3. Synaptics touchpad does not tap drag, nor does it side scroll.

    1. Wireless adapter not working

    2. Bluetooth is not powered on. If windows had previously powered on the device then it was found by Intrepid and managed properly, until computer power off (the device stayed active during reboots). Workaround is to use the omnibook module with forced EcType=14.

    3. Suspend operation takes the computer into suspend, but then the computer cannot wake up.
    4. Hiberate operation stopped working.
