This was my smoothest Linux instillation on a notebook out of the six total I've attempted. Maybe it's just that I'm getting the hang of it, but I am impressed by Ubuntu.
Hardware Components | Status under Linux | Notes |
CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 Processor 2GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, FSB 667MHz) | works | both processors work "out of the box" each reporting bogomips = 3990 |
Display 12.1" | works | install 915resolution to get native 1280x768 |
10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet | works | no problems |
Wireless (Intel 3945) | works | driver installs automatically, recommend adding networkmanager |
Touch pad | works | no problem |
Bluetooth Mouse | works | easy (follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothMouse) |
Built in Camera | doesn't work | not much help available |
Internal 56k Modem | ? | didn't bother trying it out |
Sound | works | no problem (hardware volume controller even works) |
dvd | works | watched Amadeus after installing gxine! (Mozart still dies at end) |
sata hard drive | works | no problem |
sd card reader | works | no problem |
usb ports x 3 | work | no problem |
