The only problems I've had with my 600m / D600 are:
1. Upon resuming from S1, moused is confused and needs to be restarted;
2. The S3 sleep state is mis-implemented as "reboot"; and
3. The S4 sleep state doesn't exist.

Fans work perfectly, acpi_video can control the display properly, and S1 
works fine apart from the mouse problem.
