This is the second realease of this model and it features Nvidia Optimus technology so I can't enable/disable discret graphics in the bios as the previous one.

I don't use Ubuntu (just a matter of choice), instead I'm running Fedora 13
Hope this information would help developers.

If I install Nvidia propietary drivers I got stucked because I think the Intel controller is the one running.
I can't adjust the brightness using the Fn key.

If you need something else just ask.
