Important Note

The only thing to be aware of is that WIFI is unavailable until you load the firmware, so installation is done via the LAN.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV41 [Quadro FX Go1400] [10de:00cc] (rev a2)

The only thing I needed to do was to load the nVidia drivers to get the 3D stuff working, other than that it worked out the box.

Audio

Works out the box

Keyboard

The multimedia keys require the .Xmodmap file, see attachment:.Xmodmap

Mouse

The trackpad is an ALPS so xorg.conf needs to be changed:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Synaptics Touchpad"
    Driver         "synaptics"
    Option         "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"

    #Change the protocol here :
    Option         "Protocol" "alps"
    Option         "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
    Option         "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
