=== Notes ===

==== Graphics ====

==== Screen Resolution ====

The full 1366x768 native resolution is not supported by Jaunty out of the box. However, once a system update is run and the nVidia driver is enable through System ==> Administration ==> Hardware Drivers, Ubuntu should default to 1366x768.

==== Wireless ====

==== Wireless NIC ====

Kernel 2.6.28-14-generic doesn't support the Wireless NIC. The NIC in the MSI is a RT3090 while the available driver in the Jaunty CD is for the RT2860. We will need to replace the kernel module for the RT2860 with a recompiled module for the RT3090. You will need to get the headers for your kernel;

{{{
$sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
}}}

Obtain RALink driver source at http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html

Get the RT3090 driver - (as at this posting, `2009_0612_RT3090_Linux_STA_V2.1.0.0_DPO.tar.gz`) and uncompress the tarball in something like `usr/local/src`

You will need to recompile this source EVERY TIME you change kernel as you will have a new set of kernel sources and a new kernel. Follow the instructions in `README_STA_pci` in the source root directory. In `os/linux/config.mk`, set `HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y` and `HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y`.

In the source root directory;
{{{
$make
}}}
Rename the old RT2860 module binary.
{{{
$sudo mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/rt2860sta.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/rt2860sta.ko.old
}}}
Replace the supplied RT2860 module with the RT3090 module.
{{{
$sudo mv ./os/linux/rt3090sta.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/rt2860sta.ko
}}}
Rename the configuration file and folder.
{{{
$sudo mv /etc/Wireless/RT3090STA /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA
$sudo mv /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT3090STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860.dat
}}}
Run `modprobe`
{{{
$sudo modprobe rt2860sta
}}}

Reboot the computer and you should have wireless NIC working. Test with `iwconfig`.
