Request for comments: Laptop improvements

Hi,
couple of thoughts:

1. Dock-stations are really important. The code responsible for that is being 
developed mainly by Kristen Accardi (see linux-acpi at vger.kernel.org), patches 
are in -mm tree

2. I personally use suspend2 (http://suspend2.net) for couple of years instead 
of suspend present in kernel. Is there a chance to include it? I guess not :(

3. A thing that in my oppinion still does not work like it should is 'network 
profiles'. I'm talking about the situation where one has different network 
configuration in office and different at home.

4. Things that are _not_ working on my Dell Inspiron E1505:
- snd-hda-intel <- module is loaded but there's no sound (on Ubuntu in works),
- xorg-x11-drv-i810 <- it does not work with 945GM card,
- on this laptop as well as on Dell Latitude D505 915resolution patch is 
needed to set native LCD resolution (1680x1050 and 1400x1050). If there is a 
way to handle this issue without the patch - great. Otherwise, the patch 
should be packaged, like in Ubuntu.


Thats all for now,
regards
