What works “out of the box”

• Gigabit ethernet adapter
• Wireless
• Graphics adapter and 3D accelerator
• Sound
• USB
• SD card reader
• Suspend to RAM (sleep), F4 or closing the lid
• Suspend to disk (hibernate) (F12 puts to sleep; suspension to disk is via session menu)
• Screen locking with F2
• Wi-Fi on/off with F5
• CPU frequency scaling

Not tested

• Firewire
• PCMCIA slots
• Embedded Security Subsystem (TCPA)
• Modem

Notes

Sound works as long as modem is not disabled in BIOS.

The new version 1.97 of PowerTOP does not seem to have the --dump mode anymore. Interactive screen reports battery discahrge rate of 11.5W with display dimmed and WiFi on.
