I have a shiny new laptop (HP Pavilion dm4) with the Sandy Bridge

but is annoying.
I have spent a few days poking around, looking for known issues. Is
this unique to me? If not fedora-devel, what is the right forum to
post to with details?
Thanks!

I have a thinkpad x220, which works quite well (some games crash, but
"working", when doing anything non-gaming):

Looks mostly the same, only other device number, does that make any
difference?
I installed using a xfce-beta live cd, haven't tried any "new" live cd
since then.
Hope that helps,
