   * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5469447 for the tablet
   * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442483 about tx1000/tx1120: **116 pages** on 6 Dec 2008! It //certainly// contains some useful info, but you must find it.
+In particular, I must thank users thegnark and gali98 for support.
+====== Audio ======
+To enable audio, just add the line:
     options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba position_fix=1
+at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.
+Notice the following line was also suggested:
+    options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=acer
+with it sound does work, but speakers keep playing when headphones are plugged in, so use the former.
+====== Wireless ======
+In Restricted Drivers Manager (System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers), enable "wl" driver and reboot.
+(In the same window, ATI restricted drivers can be enabled to have grafic acceleration working: I found them unstable, but it was several weeks ago, I'll try again)
+Notice there are problems to connect to some WPA Enterprise wireless networks; the following bugs/threads could be of interest:
+  * http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263963
+  * http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/276980
+  * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/293869
+  * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970236&page=2
+I also tried adding to my software sources (System -> Administration -> Software sources):
+    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu intrepid main
+but having last version of network-manager didn't help.
+====== Touchscreen ======
+Just follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5469447&postcount=5 .
+====== Rotation and buttons ======
+[[http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6102181&postcount=344|This post]] contains a very useful script which will take care of rotating screen, touchscreen recognition and something with fonts. However, it contains a typo that after several weeks still wasn't fixed, so I'm providing a {{:informatica:rotate.sh|fixed version}}. I also created a very simple {{:informatica:rotate.svg|icon}} if you want to add a launcher on a panel.
+Notice that you have to make rotate.sh executable to use it: right-click it, choose "Properties", then "Permissions" and check the last checkbox.
+The two buttons I have under the screen don't work at all. The "DVD" and multimedia ones do.
+The "rotate" button (the one under "DVD") is recognized but not enabled by default. To make it work, in a terminal give the command
+    gconf-editor
+then browse to apps -> metacity -> global_keybindings, find "run_command_1", click on "disabled" and type instead "0xc9". Finally, click "keybinding_commands", find "command_1" and instead of "disabled" type the path of the "rotate.sh" script.
+//(if you're curious, this special value "0xc9" was found just pushing the button in the keyboard shortcuts manager)//
+//(Also notice that this has a negative side effect: the small button over the touchpad sends the same signal, so if you push it, the screen rotates. However, I never push it...)//
+====== Suspend/hibernate ======
+Worked out of the box, but at wakeup mouse and keyboard didn't work ([[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/23497|bug #23497]]), problem can be solved [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5220536&postcount=19|this way]].
+====== Fingerprint reader ======
+Did work, then I reinstalled and at the moment I can't find the howto I followed at the time. It implies installing package fprint-demo and editing a pair of files (one was /etc/pam.d/common-auth). Some useful info if you speak Italian is [[http://www.oneopensource.it/29/11/2007/fprint-il-tanto-atteso-supporto-ai-lettori-di-impronte-digitali|here]].
+====== Remote control ======
+It just works! (almost all of its buttons do)
