I forgot to mention the Nvidia Ion graphics chip.  This works OK under the
default drivers but to get the best from it I'm afraid I downloaded and
installed the non-free Nvidia driver.  There isn't one listed as supporting
the Ion so I just chose the latest x86 one and that seems to work
perfectly.

Power consumption is in the 19-24W range - rather more than an Acer Aspire
One, and I was hoping for less.  Presumably the extra is taken up by the
Ion graphics, but I'm going to try some experiments with spinning the HDD
down and see what happens.
