Right-click on that icon will give us option to operate CPU on various clock speeds: 1600, 1200, 1000, 800, 600 MHz, with related power usage each 32, 24, 20, 16, and 12 watts.

PCMCIA

Detected automatically. Haven't tried yet, because my needs already fulfiled by various on-board devices.

There will be a small problem if Fn+F3 pressed (to switch from LCD to external monitor and their combinations). Fixed by changing to any virtual console than back to X. (press Shift+Alt+F1 then Alt+F7).

No problem. xine can be used to play DVD, VCD, or multimedia files (.avi, .mpg, etc). Writing to CD-R or CD-RW can be done using already-installed k3b.

No problem. Touch on pad can do a "click" too.
