A collection of random stuff to use linux on an Aspire One (AO751h) 11.6"

• turning off dri and AIGLX in ServerFlags section makes it more stable
• The laptop wouldn't resume with X running until i turned off acceleration via the 'Option "NoAccel" "true"' in the Device section of the x.org.conf
• After switching harddrive and installing the os, the BIOS complained 'No operating system' and wouldn't boot from the disk. Resetting the bios defaults fixed this.
• needs poulsbo specific X.org server because of the GMA500 video
• pulseaudio seems to be more annoying than usual...just remove the binary
• wireless network driver is dicey
• when vbetool(1) runs after suspend it takes 100% cpu (prevents the suspend from completing). (re)move /usr/sbin/vbetool, as it doesn't need this to function (there are possibly more elegant ways of doing this in the scripts, but this is easiest).

• Note (not related to the Aspire, but to the Atom): on the Intel itx board with an Atom 330, with hyperthreading enabled, under linux, the ethernet chip hangs up during certain large transfers (with some sshfs cp's/scp). Disabling hyperthreading seems to cure the particular problem....err or not (doesn't hang but still times out)
