This particular laptop is known to be a pain to get right.  The good
news is that you should be able to get everything to work.  Here are
some websites that may be good resources for you:

This next one is written for Debian Woody, but has great info on such
things as where to get the ACPI drivers.  It also covers your jog/dial
problem, and also covers installing ALSA, which you'll need to do to get
your multimedia issues resolved:

I know your local here in the area, and I'd be happy to help you out on
this.

All the best,
Caity
