Observations out of the box
- Audio, video, networking (wired and wireless) work fine.
- Volume up and down work; mute doesn't.
- Mute now works. Not sure if I did something (I did go into YasST/Hardware/Keyboard Layout and change the Type to "IBM ThinkPad R60/T60/...."; I also went into the volume applet's Setting and played around with some of the shortcuts but didn't commit any changes) or if I just wasn't making good contact the first time.
- Kaffeine/xine seem to have trouble with DVDs (encrypted or corrupt DVD messags). Packman and videolan are in the repositories list, before the stock openSUSE.org repositories...
- Fn+ combinations:
- F2 (lock) doesn't do anything.
- F3 (battery) doesn't do anything.
- F4 (suspend) doesn't do anything.
- F5 (toggle Bluetooth power) works
- F7 (toggle external monitor) doesn't do anything. (I don't have an external monitor attached, which might possibly have something to do with it.)
- F8 (toggle trackpoint/touchpad) doesn't do anything. (I have the touchpad disabled in the BIOS.)
- F9 (not sure what that's supposed to be) doesn't do anything.
- F12 (hibernate) doesn't do anything.
- PrtSc (SysRq) doesn't do anything.
- ScrLk (NumLk) works. Embedded numeric keypad works as expected when NumLk is on.
- Pause (Break) doesn't do anything.
- Home (increase LCD brightness) and End (decrease LCD brightness) work. There is no OSD showing the brightness level, however.
- PgUp (ThinkLight) works.
- Spacebar (magnify) doesn't do anything.
- Cursor keys (Previous Track/Stop/Play-Pause/Next Track) don't do anything
- Power management (suspend and hibernate) works when initiated from the KDE applet.
