Funny you should ask. I have an R500 and it works fine, excepting the
lack of ACPI support of course. The Fn-Mute key combo even works right
away, no configuring needed (magic!). It's super flimsy though, I've
had it's optical drive repaired twice and the DC in has come loose and
I'm terrified of bumping the screen (it's 4mm thick). It's not the
worst laptop I've heard of as far as heat goes but it definitely gets
up there--I can't really do CPU intensive things on it since it'll get
up to 95degC and hover there really quick. Wifi is wpi(4) and except
for one firmware glitch once, and sometimes things lagging out (seems
to be correlated with heat) until I reset the card, I've never had any
problems. I'm not sure how different the R600 is, though.

This BIOS doesn't seem to like (legacy) GRUB: it hangs on the logo
screen unless I warm-boot or mash the F keys (very odd) but when I was
just using the OpenBSD MBR it never did that.
