Lenovo Ideapad S10

Question

I thought I may as well start a s10 thread as there seems to be a thread for every other netbook.  I just received mine and I will post anything relevant to the s10 on arch here.  Perhaps others have arch on s10 comments.

Put something like
snip
in your ~/.Xmodmap file, then you can map the XF86Audio* keys to the correct functions in your window manager.  This may not be necessary in all window managers but I had to do this before fluxbox would recognize the keypresses.
[b]EDIT:  This seems to only be necessary in flux for whatever reason.  I'm back to my normal dwm and this messed the keybinds up, so I'll remove them from this thread until I do some further experimenting.
I also found that 866 what the best framebuffer resolution the same way you did
Instead of configuring in xorg.conf, I used hotplugging and an excerpt from a forum post to get the mousepad working correctly.  I still have no xorg.conf.  I will edit this post with the fdi file I used for the trackpad when I have my s10 with me.
I've tested the webcam, the linux-uvc-svn-all package in the aur works fine for me.  The mic on the other hand looks like it needs a newer version of alsa -- http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+ideapad+s10 reports that .18a worked in ubuntu and the current package available in arch is .18.  Alsa has release .19 and I quickly rebuilt the package to see if it would fix my problem but I had no luck.  I probably need to rebuild more packages as well.
I have not tested the card reader but I plan on testing that when I get home tonight.
