Notes

(1) External monitor works without pressing any button indicating that the external VGA port is activated all the time.

(2) Resolution and Refresh rate are the same as for the panel which is suboptimal and my monitor also doesn't like it and has problems displaying everything.

(3) The keys control the volume by hardware. Additionally (and superfluously) the key-presses are captured and the volume is additionally turned up/down in software.

(4) Works with the sl-modem driver.

(5) Works after installing irda-utils.

(6) The CD-drive of my laptop is broken, so I'm using a USB DVD drive.

(7) The keys generate X events, but they are bound to nothing.

(8) The keys generate X events, but they should be bound to the right keysyms. And applications such as firefox should react to those keysyms.

N/A means that the machine has no such hardware

HW means that the function is provided by hardware or BIOS (i.e. it works without any OS support)
