Current Issues
Boot hangs on ACPI: Setting ELCR to 0200 (from 0c30) if an USB mouse is connected. This is caused by a BIOS bug. Use a patched ACPI DSDT from http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php to work around this problem. Downgrading to BIOS release 0202AS is also reported to work.
The Webcam (D-MAX / Syntek Semicon, 174f:a311) does not work (no drivers). A Linux driver is in development at http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net/.
On Edgy an error message with the text "Internal error. Failed to initialize HAL!" is displayed on login (bug #62990). On a related problem, suspend and hibernate functions do not work.

Notes
[1] In Windows this key switches between power management profiles defined in ASUS Power4 Gear program. In Ubuntu it activates the screen saver.
Please file a bug https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+filebug along with your dmidecode output so that we can identify your laptop and change what this key is mapped to.
This is reported as bug #35791.
[2] In Ubuntu this opens the CD-tray.
