== Current Issues ==

The graphics card is sis, but it gets detected as vesa. Keep in mind that there is NO support for DRI/OpenGL/3D acceleration even if you change /etc/xorg.conf to winischofer's sis driver. 

When installing in Breezy, be sure to use the following kernel option so install dialogue fits on the screen: {{{linux vga=791}}}

In Dapper, when the CD boots up, F4 lets you choose video modes, choose 1024x768.

The wifi is a [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx|broadcom4318 chipset]]:

after a Breezy install, you will need to get a copy of your broadcom drivers bcmwl5.sys & bcmwl5.inf (c:/windows/System32/drivers/?) and follow [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Breezy|the instructions]] to get the wireless LAN (wlan0) to work.

In Dapper, it's a bit more complicated, but follow [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper|these instructions]]. It explains how to download the drivers and chop them up. Keep a note of any error messages, and let ["brallan" me] know if you have problems. Keep in mind that it IS a bcm4318 card.

I tried the bcm43xx driver only on a WPA protected network. It didn't work at first, and after several tries and module (un)loading, it finally works with a 20% packet drop (pinging a local computer). After some time, eth1  disapeared and NetworkManager switched back to the wired connection. --[[Mongolito404]]

This is a followup of my preceding note, I had an occasion to retry Wifi netwoking. This time without any encryption. The Wifi is working fine and i'm still using the bcm43xx installed as described in [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper|these instructions]]. --[[Mongolito404]]

The webcam/mike doesn't work.
 
The memory card reader doesn't work in Breezy: Ricoh

The tapping on the touchpad is very sensitive, look to the SynapticsTouchpadHowTo for help:

External monitors flicker, especially when typing quickly.  According to Thomas Winischhofer [www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisvga.shtml]:

{{{ 
My advice: Don't buy a machine with a SiS760 unless this machine has dedicated local video memory. And please don't complain about "driver bugs" if you see "flashing lines" on the screen; these are the typical effects of a bandwidth problem and unavoidable - even the Windows driver can't do better. In such cases, reduce the resolution and/or refresh rate and/or color depth, or use one output (CRT1 or CRT2) only. Sorry, can't help it. There is no driver bug involved.
}}}

There may be [[http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=706808#post706808|errors]] with PCMCIA support for kernels before 2.6.14. ¿¿¿anybody know???

Once install is complete, you will want to edit your kernel parameters. This is to prevent a really slow connection and lots of lost packets doing pings, and to get the text-mode to fit on the screen. Anyone know how to get this to work from the liveCD install??

In a terminal window, type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

and find the line that says: 

# defoptions=quiet splash

change this line to read: 

# defoptions=quiet splash pnpbios=off acpi=force pci=noacpi vga=0x031e

and then run the following in a terminal:

sudo update-grub
