Notes

3D acceleration using the fglrx driver requires the fglrx kernel module to be loaded (depmod -a). Also, the composite extension must be disabled in the xorg.conf for 3D acceleration. Wireless LED only works following this guide from System76.

In Dapper and Edgy dual booting to Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux was difficult or impossible to configure using GRUB. In Feisty it worked effortlessly. Same in Gutsy, unknown in hardy yet
