Default Most suitable distro for laptops.

Hi,

I am looking for the most suitable distro for laptops. I did try searching the forums, but no thread exists for the particular topic of laptops.

Here are some of the requirements:

- Configure ACPI events (lid close, power button etc) automatically, and allow me to configure them
- Configure the hotkeys (volume, mute, sleep etc) automatically
- Adjust CPU frequency according to the load
- Adjust the resolution appropriately - 1280x800 in my case

Icing on the cake would be having XGL/AIGLX and beryl/compiz .
ATM, ubuntu satisfies all the requirements mentioned above. However, the software in ubuntu is quite outdted, and not updated frequently. I can't wait 6 months to get the latest stuff

Can someone please suggest me a distro that would satisfy the above needs ?

Thanks a lot !
