you are a brave one... 
I am not sure I am up for upgrading from source ;-)

mmh, I might look out for a sound driver update.
I still need to try external monitor.

Most of this driver contains code to handle those 2 graphics card the old model
had (my husband and I created the first version). Maybe the original driver only
misses the model code to do the right thing. I'll look into this. It would be
great to merge our efforts upstream to the kernel, so that we don't have to
maintain a seperate code.

Yes, that's what I am doing as well. Even 3 fingers for middle click works. And
scrolling. 
I am after clicking and click&drag though ;-)

Ah, I didn't try the archlinux patch, it looks a bit different. So now I know it
doesn't help :-)

I don't have the dockingstation - I use the laptop on the sofa most of the time
anyways...
 
Best,
