Notes
N.B. the testing was done with the i386 image of each release.
Feisty Herd 5
- Installation: boot options 'noapic' and 'nolapic' (+ corresponding change in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
- Infrared: only working with the laptop's remote control
- Play/Pause key: only pause, does not play
6.10 Edgy
Installation: boot options 'noapic' and 'nolapic' (+ corresponding change in /boot/grub/menu.lst), see also thread [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53094 53094] in the Ubuntu forums
- Sleep: the machine goes to sleep, the sleep light comes on, it wakes up on a key press, but the screen is just blank and the keyboard is not working (for example caps lock and num lock)
Wireless NIC: the Broadcom 4310 network card requires firmware, one possibility is to use ndiswrapper, see [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=dv9074ea WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom BCM4311 rev 01 (ndiswrapper)] or [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom]
- Infrared: only working with the laptop's remote control
- Webcam: Ekiga does not find the built-in webcam, nor does XSane
- Multimedia touch key 'Volume Mute': does mute and unmute, but doesn't change color between red and blue according to status
- Play/Pause key: only pause, does not play
6.06 LTS Drapper
- Installation: boot options 'noapic' and 'nolapic' (+ corresponding change in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
- Sleep: no option in menu, Fn + F5 not working either
- Wired NIC: not working out-of-box
- Infrared: only working with the laptop's remote control
- Multimedia touch key 'Volume Mute': does mute and unmute, but doesn't change color between red and blue according to status
Miscellaneous

This problem is, for example, discussed in thread [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=334373 334373] in the Ubuntu forum and in bug # [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/57355 57355].
Wireless networking
Following the how-to on [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=dv9074ea WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom BCM4311 rev 01 (ndiswrapper)] and installing ndiswrapper and network-manager, and adding WPA-support it's possible to network very smoothly in Edgy 6.10.
Beryl
Following the how-to [http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia Install Beryl on Ubuntu Edgy with nVidia] made Beryl (N.B. still in development) worked fine on this labtop, until ndiswrapper was installed...
