I checked it on my XPS M120, the key was mapped to the same as
mentioned.  And thats from a self installed ubuntu..  I also checked
to make sure my media card reader worked (didnt even think to test it
until I read this review) and it worked too.

Ubuntu on my Dell XPS laptop works perfectly, not a single thing
needed configured.. I'm really impressed.

Wow.. I purchased my XPS in January, they didn't have the option then,
or I would have chosen it.
