Hi, I have a nice shiny new Dell Inspiron 8000 an will dual boot mdk 8.0 on it in a week or so. The mdk hardware compatibility list just shows that install has been successful, not the detail. Is there a reference somewhere that shows if any special actions need to be taken - the lm-sensors warning and the fact that kde power management has been disabled are important, but nothing like this is mentioned against the T20 in the compatibility guide!!! I am aware of linux-laptop, but I think specifics like this should be mentioned in the hardware compatibility guide, at least for mainstream models mentioned in the guide.
