Current Issues

Linux alpha 2.6.26-4-generic #1 SMP Mon Jul 14 18:39:36 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Wireless card does not work out of the box. Fix available in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250716 Bug 250716.

Video card not fully supported out of the box, resulting in incorrect screen resolution.

NVIDIA driver quality for this release is sub-optimal, but I may not be doing it right. This is my best guess based on http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=212 Updates on the NVIDIA drivers in Intrepid

{{{$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 $ sudo nvidia-xconfig}}}

Remember to comment out the RgbPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

-Wireless card does not work out of the box.  At least as of 17 July 2008, once your system is updated, enabling the "wl" driver in restricted drivers will run the wireless card, making ndiswrapper unnecessary.
