Hey guys, got a few problems with Linux Mint 10 on a HP Pavilion dv7 4020-sa.
The main problem is that the battery status is unavailable at any time, with the indicator merely telling me it is 'estimating' and does so forever more. If there is a fix for this, great, if not, I'll report this as a bug.
My more minor problem is the subwoofer appearing not to work, as sound is more tinny on Mint than on Win 7. This is a minor issue though, but if there is a fix that would be great.
As for other issues reported with this line of laptops, I have the touchpad working, mostly, and the wireless working with the latest drivers from Broadcom. So, two down, two to go.

Re: Battery status unavailable
Right, the battery applet for docky reports the amount left, accurately as far as I can tell, but the battery appindicator doesn't.
Unfortunately the solution for the subwoofer had no effect, as it doesn't appear to be recognised in the first place.
