[tlinux-users:08691] Re: Ubuntu Gutsy on Satellite P100

Some of you might find that using a later BIOS version may help. I
think I'm currently running 3.80, on top of which is a 2.6.23 series
kernel and alsa courtesy of alsadriver et al rather than in-kernel
alsa. This provides sound and ACPI at the same time without passing
any options to the kernel on boot.

I'm damned if I can work out how to get the GPU fan to operate
reliably (some boots it just seems to never turn on, others it runs at
a slow speed all the time, others it correctly switches between fan
speeds).
