 					<li>
+						X200: only framebuffer graphics work. This is fine, since it's what most people use,
+						but text-mode graphics initialization is currently broken, which means that
+						memtest86+ will require serial output or ehci debugging.
+					</li>
+					<li>
+						X200: at very low brightness levels, the backlight is uneven. Fix that.

 						Fix remaining incompatible LCD panels in native graphics on T60.
