Yes, i have this device (Asus p52JC) (i3 370M). I use linux about five last years, but my work with this very sad. I have not big problem after installing debian 6.0, but small problems drive me crazy. Some times system after few switching between graphic and text mode (ctrl+alt+Fn) lost monitor, i suppose and i need make hard restart >_< Video card work ONLY with 2D =( If you try install nvidia official driver - you can't run graphic mode. I think this problem exist, because in this laptop two video card. If you do this - remove Xorg.conf and restart X server - should help. When i try use headphone - i get sound from both place: from headphone and from laptop dinamic
