Hi all,

I'm a happy owner of a 3810T (SU9400/GM4500/Bios 1.08, Karmic 64 bits
alpha). I made any update I could find there and now here is the list
of what is still buggy:
- must stop bluetooth with fn+F3 manually at every boot,
- fan issue (continually running on power, too regularly running on battery),
- couldn't find a way (think about a hardware limitation now) to set
link_power_management_policy to min_power for host0 (it's my last
advice from powertop),
- suspend doesn't work and shut down the laptop when trying to wake up,
- the laptop doesn't turn on when I open the lid (perhaps not a issue...),
- the luminosity management seems to be unstable: too may steps to
raise or dim, weird behaviour when going from power to battery and
vice versa.

I upgraded yesterday Jaunty to Karmic and everything is fine except
network: if I boot using 2.6.30-020630-generic kernel, it's as usual
but if I use 2.6.31, I don't have any network anymore (looks like a
driver issue: no network available at all). Any clue?

What is better with 9.10 alpha (at least, for us, 3810T owners):
- kind of powertop integrated to gnome power manager
- better management of the luminosity using fn + left arrow / fn + right arrow
- powertop and gnome power manager report now the same time remaining
on battery.

Oh, and my lower power consumption was 7,2W. Unfortunately, it raised
a lot when I worked on a site that uses Flash (grrr)...
... until I found this:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html. It hangs firefox
sometimes but don't use 100% CPU anymore.

Cheers.

PS: I still need libata.force=noncq in boot options
