Did you find a solution to this?
I've just gone and sprung for the same machine after test driving one for a couple of weeks..
Still have not been able to map the Eject key or Volume keys yet.. Everything else seems pretty good 
ootb.

Would appreciate any pointers or gotchas you may have found.
Have not tried to get the internal card reader or V90 modem working yet, though apparently there are 
patches/drivers available for both.

Regards,
Brad
