Current Issues
- HAL won't start when concurrency=shell on /etc/init.d/rc, works normal if is set to "none"
Audio (HDA Intel) is buggy, fixed adding options snd-hda-intel model=3stack to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
- Monitor reports wrong resolution, need 915resolution to fix.
- Will not wake up after suspend
- Hibernate breaks wireless network
- Brightness up key does not work
