Current Issues
The disable touchpad button doesn't work. [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/31063 Bug# 31063]
The webcam doesn't work. There is a community driven project underway: [http://m560x.x3ng.com/].
The memory card reader doesn't work: Ricoh [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/36964 Bug# 36964]
The graphics card is sis, but it gets detected as vesa. [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/discover1-data/+bug/43963 Bug# 43963]
External monitors flicker, especially when typing quickly. According to Thomas Winischhofer at www.winischhofer.net:
My advice: Don't buy a machine with a SiS760 unless this machine has dedicated local video memory. And please don't complain about "driver bugs" if you see "flashing lines" on the screen; these are the typical effects of a bandwidth problem and unavoidable - even the Windows driver can't do better. In such cases, reduce the resolution and/or refresh rate and/or color depth, or use one output (CRT1 or CRT2) only. Sorry, can't help it. There is no driver bug involved.
The wireless On/Off function key and the wireless LED work out of the box now!! Thanks folks!

Notes
[1] The resolution settings and video driver don't get detected correctly during installation. You must add "1280x800" manually to xorg.conf and change the video driver to sis later.
