There is a nice GNOME Applet which shows the CPU frequency, which easily can be added to the GNOME Panel. USB keys automatically mounts and is showed on the desktop. USB CD burners is automatically detected and accessable with Nautilus Burn (havn't tried any other applications). When using the unofficial packages for GNOME Bluetooth integration, remember to set class to 0x100100 in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf:
device {
name "IBM X40";
class 0x100100;
...
Power savings with ACPI
I'm not that into hardware but I can confirm that the fan speed is throttled up and down depending of the temperatur. Most of the time the fan is shut off.
Issues with the wireless
I can connect to networks both with and without encryption though I have some small issues when switching from an encrypted network to an unencrypted network with the network-admin program. Nice program btw, which enables one to have multiple network profiles. This might be a network-admin problem. I'm also not able to save passwords for the wireless networks in network-admin but I worked around this problem by manually edit /etc/gnome-system-tools/network/profiles.xml
Issues with suspend to RAM
The following is needed in the GRUB configuration "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" to avoid the screen turning black after sleep. The bluetooth is turned off after waking from sleep (not true on Warty). Sometimes (very rarely) when I close the lid the laptop doesn't enter sleep mode, but when I open the lid again it sleeps. Not really a problem other than you have to check if it enters sleep mode so you don't put it into you back while it is running, I can get hot when it can't get rid of the hot air. Two times I experienced that the laptop didn't wake up properly, this results in that the wireless doesn't get activated, the text consoles is unuseable (they are just black), and when you try to restart X the screen is just black. When this happens the laptop doesn't go to sleep when shutting the lid (or pressing Fn + F4). |
