Hardware details

Notes

Dapper : After normal installation, you must install the SMP kernel to enable Core Duo processor :

sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp

restart computer, then install the intel i915GM video module (you must activate "unverse" repository before) :

sudo apt-get install 915resolution

then you should have the full resolution 1280x800 .

Jemore's note : AIXGL and Compiz works fine. Tutorials (in french) : http://jemore.nerim.net/wordpress/index.php?p=44 or http://market.inattendu.org/article.php3?id_article=40
