[edit] Specification

To be added.

[edit] Graphics

Includes an Intel graphics chipset, which works well with the xf86-video-intel driver. TV-Out and external CRT not tested yet.

[edit] Compiz-Fusion

Works without any apparent problems.

[edit] Ethernet

Works.

[edit] WLAN

Contains a nasty hardware hack: an internal USB WLAN interface. The chipset is rtl8187b, which seemingly is almost supported by the rtl8187 driver, but it does not associate correctly.

However, the Windows driver from Ralink seems to work perfectly via ndiswrapper. WPA-PSK also.

[edit] Sound

Works.

[edit] Battery

The machine has lousy battery performance, and it seems to drain battery even after being shut down. Some reports have indicated that this does not happen when the machine is shut down from Vista. Needs investigation.
