Ubuntu 11.04 'natty narwhal' seems to work well on this system, which is
pleasantly surprising!

I downloaded the ISO 2 days ago, and burnt a DVD from the image. As
before, the live CD was unable to determine the actual resolution of the
screen (1024x768, Unichrome controller) and set a higher resolution.
However the System>Preferences>Monitors dialog was accessible, so I was
able to set the proper resolution, and the copy in the xorg.conf file I
have used previously, log out, then log in again in 1024x768 resolution.
I was able to switch to text consoles and back without any problems. So
I decided to install the 11.04 system (instead of Debian Lenny, which I
had been using). On rebooting, setting 1024x768 resolution, and
installing the xorg.conf file, the installed system worked properly.

I note that Unity does not work with this display and the Openchrome
driver, but Gnome works (with a nagging popup reminding me about that!).
After some confusion about the popup, I finally found that I was able to
use the System>Administration>Login Screen dialog to set the legacy
Gnome UI as the default. I left a comment about that on the Ubuntu
forum.

After that, installation of Apache2, MySQL, PHP5, openssh-server, and
other software I use frequently went well. I'll keep updating 11.04
until release.
