Hardware

• CPU
  • Intel Core 2 Duo
    • Works without problems (tested on 2.6.27).

• Graphics Hardware
  • integrated Intel X4500HD
    • Works without problems (tested on 2.6.27).
  • Discrete NVIDIA GeForce 9300 graphics
    • Works with vesa, nv and the proprietary nVidia driver (tested version 180.06)

• Displays
  • 13,3" - 15,4" TFTs
    • Work without problems.

• Interface ports
  • USB
    • Work without problems.

• Network interfaces
  • WLAN
    • Intel WiFi Link 5100: Works without problems (iwlagn) (tested on 2.6.27 with 802.11g)
    • Atheros AR5007EG chipset: ath5k should work since 2.6.27 (but I encountered problems connecting to networks). madwifi with proprietary driver is more reliable. See these instructions. Use script to remove module before suspend/hibernate and reload after resume/thaw.The wireless switch on front of case does work, but the wireless LED doesn't light up.
  • WWAN
    • Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350 (UMTS/HSPA): Detected, but I couldn't make it connect (2.6.27)
  • LAN
    • Realtek RTL8111/8168B gigabit ethernet: works (tested at 100Mbit).
  • Bluetooth 2.0
    • Integrated chipset: Detected, but not tested (2.6.27)

• ACPI
  • Suspend (s2ram)
    • Works (2.6.27). For 2.6.26 and earlier, use command "s2ram -f -s".
  • Hibernate (s2disk)
    • Works (2.6.26).
  • Battery state
    • Detected if only battery is used or not. (2.6.27)
    • Battery stage not very exact / maybe completely wrong (2.6.27). Powertop is more accurate than Gnome battery applet.

    • Thinkcare: no keycode shown in xev.
    • Volume up: Works with new driver (keycode 176).
    • Volume down: Works with new driver (keycode 174).
    • Mute: Works with new driver (keycode 160).
  • Fn combinations (if keycode exists, then can be made to work by reassigning keys in /etc/Xmodmap)
    • SysRq (Fn+F1): Prints screen.
    • Lock Screen (Fn+F2): Works with new driver (keycode 146).
    • Manage battery & power (Fn+F3): Works with new driver (keycode 241).

    • TrackPointer/Touchpad (Fn+F8): Works with new driver (keycode 159).
    • Manage external devices (Fn+F9): Works with new driver (keycode 204).
    • No function (Fn+F10): Same keycode as F10.
    • Pause (Fn+F11): Works? (keycode 110)
    • Hibernate (Fn+F12): Works with new driver (keycode 165).
    • Screen Lock (Fn+Insert): Doesn't work (keycode 78)
    • Number Lock (Fn+Delete): Works, but the Number Lock LED on right side of keyboard doesn't light up.
