TV Out (not tested, but I heard it only works with the proprietary ATI driver)

Notes:
I'm running kernel 2.6.17-10-generic on Kubuntu Edgy.
Video acceleration works with the open source driver for ATI cards.
Battery status is detected and displayed correctly.
WiFi is not present in my model, though there are variations of it which have WiFi (don't know if it works under Linux).
To use the dial-up modem you need to install the sl-modem-daemon package.
This model is very similar to the P28. The latter seems to be more popular, and I've found some links about other people running Linux on it:
