For 64-bit install, update BIOS first to fix ACPI and wireless problems. If you use 32-bit there shouldn't be problems.

## What doesn't work

Hibernation (is still flaky). Suspend seems to work OK with kernel 2.6.35, xorg 1.9.

| Hardware | Details | Status |

| Screen/Graphics | Acer 17" (1440x900), Intel x3100 | Works fully. |
| Wireless | Intel 3945 | Works after you install the firmware. I used netcfg2 or wicd for management of WLAN. |
| Ethernet | Broadcom BCM5787 (tg3 driver) | Works out of box. |
| Audio | Realtek ALC268 | Working well. Recording from the internal microphone is flawed, however. |

| Webcam | Acer "Crystal Eye" Webcam | Works (uvcvideo) |
| Touchpad | ALPS PS/2 | Works (with current X releases no need to configure). |
| Bluetooth | Broadcom "A-Link BlueUsbA2" | Works |
| Remote control sensor | Works: install LIRC, the driver is lirc_ene0100\. I successfully command MPD and MPlayer with it. |
