 Bugs:
 -----
 
+   - several users reported that this driver disables the BIOS-managed
+     Fn-keys which put the laptop in sleeping state, or switch the
+     external monitor on/off. There is no workaround yet, since this
+     driver disables all APM management for those keys, by enabling the
+     ACPI management (and the ACPI core stuff is not complete yet). If
+     you have one of those laptops with working Fn keys and want to 
+     continue to use them, don't use this driver.
+
+   - some users reported that the laptop speed is lower (dhrystone
+     tested) when using the driver with the fnkeyinit parameter. I cannot
+     reproduce it on my laptop and not all users have this problem.
+     Still under investigation.
+   
    - since all development was done by reverse engineering, there is
      _absolutely no guarantee_ that this driver will not crash your
      laptop. Permanently.
