Here, for Ubuntu 7.04 is described a version with the Broadcom WLAN, 2000 mAh Li-ion battery, VGA ATI Radeon Xpress 1100, 60GB hard disk. For Ubuntu 8.10 is described a version with 80GB hard disk. === Image seen on screen === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): (with ATI Radeon Xpress 1100) fglrx driver === Correct resolution/refresh === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): (with ATI Radeon Xpress 1100) fglrx driver, 1280x800 60Hz === External monitor works === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): fglrx driver === Suspends === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): WLAN not working after wake up. CPU fan also not working! === Sounds on speakers === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): See solution in http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-343179.html * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex): Feisty's solution not tested. === Wireless NIC === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): Occasionally the Broadcom WLAN adapters does not work. (IRQ not ready error.) This can be fixed by unloading and loading the bcm43xx module * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex): The broadcom issues seem to be related with a hardware matter; Microsoft Windows sometimes doesn't detect any wifi network. === Local language characters === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): Doesn't type $ nor €. * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron): All works on french keyboard * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex): $ nor € not tested. === Live-CD boots until desktop === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron): 32 bit and 64 bit works from desktop install CD * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex): 64-bits Live-CD doesn't boot; only shows a basic console screen. == See also == ---- CategoryLaptop
