this is the hardware that I tested but something model can change a little
xorg driver is radeon, it support 3d very well (http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Radeon and http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon see r300), but fglrx is a little better, however last fglrx driver no support this card, and old driver not support squeeze version of xorg. No specific configuration is needed for xorg but synaptic and dual monitor don't work very well, without specific xorg.conf.
On my laptop, only way for work well (tapping, scroll etc etc) is use this line in xorg.conf (but take it from old XF86config file):
Section "InputDevice" Driver "synaptics" Identifier "SynPad" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.09" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" EndSection
and something like this
ection "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "SynPad" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "USB Mouse" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection
For work it need (my way):
acerhk poll=0 force_series=290
acerhk force_series=290 usedritek=1
echo "on" > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
or (from http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=550597):
install acerhk modprobe --ignore-install acerhk usedritek=1 autowlan=1 force_series=290; echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
With radeon driver work but only in clone mode.
For use P1, P2 button and FN keys build acerhk modules or install it if exist for your kernel, then in /etc/modules load acerhk driver with descript in wireless section. CTR/LCD key don't work.
Hibernate key work default and do hardware suspend (hardware suspend with squeeze work!!!) but is a little buggy (broke the system sometimes), hibernate (software suspend) work very well with:
