Comment 47 for bug 463940

FYI and FWIW, I run openSuSE 11.2 and just about everything works. Here's my summary...

- Thermal zone comes online if I have the thermal module load after boot finishes, not sure if ubuntu has the 3 different options for module loading - initrd, boot, and after fs mounted

- no fan detected, but I'm guessing either there isn't a controllable fan, but even if there is, my fan regulates properly so I don't care

- TurboBoost (I believe) is working, which requires a much longer explanation, which I'll be happy to post separately

- multiple battery detection works fine

Misc hardware - working w/o tweaks
    - fan adjusts with temp changes
    - batteries discharge and charge sequentially
    - sound card
    - web cam
    - microphone
    - card reader
    - HDMI audio and video
    - backlight control soft keys
    - volume soft keys
    - wifi/bluetooth soft keys
    - lock screen soft keys
    - productivity soft keys (vertically along the left)

Misc hardware - working w/small tweak
    - trackpad works just fine, in fact better than with Windows, does require small hal policy for auto configuring
    - external display soft-key - works, not sure what the 3 different modes are that it cycles through though, or how to identify them

Problems
    - can't get fglrx to work.... Seems as though the video card doesn't get reset properly and the /etc/ati/amdpscdb changes everytime the display is started and I can't ever get X to work more than once with fglrx installed. This seems to possibly be ACPI related.
    - can't get the volume mute soft-key LED to turn off

DSDT
    - I've corrected the DSDT to compile and optimize, however it doesn't alleviate the parse errors. I believe this is due to the order the kernel goes through the DSDT. I theorize either reordering the DSDT will fix it or a patch to the kernel is necessary.
