Remark

(A) ATi Radeon x1270 3D worked with default driver however caused tearing on the screen 8.12 FGLRX resolved this issue and provides full 3D no tearing.

TB120 (a.k.a S-7125C/E-155M/C-120X) 10.3 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
Remark

(10) The TB120 is not in s2ram's whitelist, so it must be manually forced to suspend. Type the following into a root shell (less single quotes):
touch /etc/pm/config.d/sleep; echo "S2RAM_OPTS=\"-f\"". You will then need to reload the NIC modules: rmmod e1000 && modprobe e1000 works for the Ethernet.
(*) Tablet: Does not work as it is a USB tablet and Wacom has no driver yet.
(*) Fn-keys: All work except the Fn+arrow key brightness adjustment.
