Ok, I only made some initial tests.
But I guess that is quite different as you have an Intel card whereas I
use nvidia.

Ubuntu is on 3.2...

Still need to map the sound key.
Looks like FN-F12 is currently also mapped to suspend, not hibernate.


Display brightness is a PITA...
I needed to add
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_backlight=vendor"
in /etc/default/grub and then ran update-grub.
But that only worked until my FN-F12 experiment, after that the control
was gone again (the HUD still showed up though).

Googeling and looking at dmesg seems to indicate that there is a conflict
between ACPI and the display driver both claiming the other will handle it...


And why the hell is my /etc/resolv.conf constantly overwritten?
