To be honest some of the side effects have been quite beneficial. Had to discontinue using KDE because when sound was enabled neither Firefox or Thunderbird (or a couple of other things) would load. Disable sound when using KDE or use a GNOME based window manager everything worked fin(e|ish) (the machine has an AC97 chipset which needs a rather odd tweak to work with ALSA at all but this known issue on all distros with machine).
I am now using Enlightenment which suits my needs very nicely, and I feel no pressing need retry KDE because I now have the balance of CLI and GUI I can work with....
WiFi will not initiate on boot (nor for that matter with vanilla if/modprobe etc). I have a special script using hwup and a udev hack which works for the moment... (BTW was fine with 9.3).
Still cannot use the Sonystick slot on the machine at all (but that is not for me a major issue as I dont use 'em anyway )...
Well, ok, I'd better go with the Lenovo then (no GNOME experience ;-) and that doesn't sound like an "easy" workarounds. which I was hoping for...) Thank you very much.
