works great on ubuntu 10.04 lucid, only problem is brightness control (doesnt work). With the use of the Nvidia card under SATA compatability mode brightness can be set via the power manager but the start from sleep is much slower than when using intel graphics, guess it is because the drive uses a slower protocol. Hope it is fixed later by some update or handy user ;)
using kernel update 2.6.34
