Hey guys. First let me start off by saying that Aurora seem like a really promising project for netbooks. I just replaced XP with Aurora on my new 1001P and now I don't want to switch back anymore.
There are just 2 issues that's bugging me right now. First, I can't seem to get the headphone jack working on this computer. I don't think the headphone jack is properly detected on this computer, because in Sound Preferences, the connector drop box only shows Analog Speaker and Analog Output. I tried adding "options snd-hda-intel model=auto position_fix=1" to alsa-base.config, but that didn't do anything.
Second, I notice that multi-touch doesn't work on this computer, even after I enabled the checkbox. The edge scrolling works perfectly, but multi-touch would be nice.
If anyone has any solutions, that would be awesome, because those are the only thing keeping me from having a perfect netbook experience
p.s, One last thing is the network-manager not starting on startup after the new update. I saw some other people with the same issue, so I'm guessing a fix will be out for that? If not I'll just add it to my rc script.

the headphone jack problem is a kernel issue most likely, upgrading the kernel would solve it but unfortunately to get a newer kernel in a debian based distro, you would have to compile it yourself, which takes a lot of learning to do it right, you can wait for an rc of aurora to come out, which might include our experimental (dont take it the wrong way, theyre quite stable) kernels.
as for the multitouch, what exactly are you talking about, if its two finger scrolling, it should work, maybe updating your synaptics driver from the debian repo might fix it if you dont have two finger scrolling. unfortunately linux doesnt have all the multitouch features that came with th original OS on your system, so that is something your just going to have to live without.

we have attempted to join the synaptics oem group to gain access to the snaptic gesture suite but I haven't heared back from them in 2 months- the announcement was nearly 4 months ago but still nothing yet
