I am running Ubuntu 12.10 Beta on a Gensys IV (with a core i5
processor and onboard graphics) with very few problems.
There is a problem with the screen brightness function keys [1] but
there is a workaround and a fix has been released.
The only other problem I have had is with the SD card reader [2] but
again the workaround works.
