HP 500 Laptop

Touchpad (Synaptic) doesn't work by default, tried on Edgy and Feiesty, none of them worked.
After applying the fix mentioned here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2069870
the touchpad works, but Ubuntu stops detecting my WiFi card (eth1 dissapears from the system, but eth0 and the modem work fine).

Logitech Bluetooth Desktop MX5000 (combination keyboard&mouse) is partially incompatible.
It will work in legacy HID mode, but then all other bluetooth functionality (pairing with bluetooth phone) is disabled.
You can get the dongle in HCI mode, but then the keyboard and mouse stop working.
It is impossible to use keyboard&mouse and at the same time use any other bluetooth devices.

Dapper and Edgy incompatability with Rosewill Wireless keyboard and a Logitec Trackman Wheel mouse. Works fine with Breezy. Takes a long time to reinstall. Breezy - Dapper - Edgy.

ENE CB-712/4 (rev 10) 5-in-1 card reader
None of the cards I have tried show up nor do i see any system events when they are inserted.

Wireless Card
In Dapper showed up as Broadcom 4319
In Edgy shows up as Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1470 Dual Band WLAN (even thought my laptop is from Lenovo and does not use Dell parts)
It kind of works using the BCM43xx drivers with the wl_apsta.o firmware package however it will ocasionally cause X to lock up solid and I often have to disconnect and reconnect to networks because it will randomly stop communicating.

The video card on the HP TouchSmart 320-1022 is detected, but can't be used by any current Kubuntu LiveCD/USB, therefore needing you to set the "nomodeset" option in order to be able to see the screen during boot, but then X did not started properly when tried to use the live desktop.

Also, I was not able to install Kubuntu 11.10 either using Wubi or Classic install, on both cases the bootloader was not able to be installed (Maybe this is a Win7 faulty thing).

Before to be able to see the Live options, the next message is shown:

Error: "Prefix" is not set.

After what I'm only shown 2 options: Start Kubuntu or Check the CD for deffects, despite the fact that on VirtualBox they show correctly, also on other computers.

And, when I try to start X (with startx on terminal) I got this output:

(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (Module does not exist, 0)
(II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported
(EE) RADEON(0): Chipset: "SUMO" (ChipID = 0x964a) requires KMS
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

So far, those are all the problems I have.
