Current Issues

The disable touchpad button doesn't work. Bug# 31063

The webcam doesn't work. There is a community driven project underway: http://m560x-driver.sourceforge.net/.

The memory card reader only works with sd and mmc [1]: Ricoh Bug# 36964

Wifi LED doesn't work Bug# 189889

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.
