Feel free to edit these pages however you feel fit if you have further information or corrections to add, or send an e-mail to admin@linlap.com if you don't know how to/can't be bothered editing these pages. You may also completely delete and re-create the pages if you feel you can do a better job as long as you at least cover the details already covered.

You should not place question about the laptop in the wiki itself, these should go in the comments section at the bottom of every page.

wireless

by Andy Rabagliati, Sunday 22 of June, 2008 [11:10:39 UTC]
On Hardy, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic wireless worked with the iwl3945 driver that came with Hardy.

At first it would see the card, but not the network. Some fiddling in System / Administration / Network / Wireless Connection
(WPA Personal to WEP and back) seemed to help - not exactly sure what I did, but I needed no kernel boot options nor ndiswrapper.

XPS M2010

Soundcard still works partially in 8.04 Ubuntu. Keyboard and mouse work fine, however bluetooth isn't fully supported (USB emu is used in the BIOS i guess for the keyb/mouse). Xgl works fine with compiz features, it looks far better than Vista. SD cards work. DVDRW works.

Confusion between Nvidia and ATI in some places

by Miles Hember, Friday 31 of August, 2007 [23:29:14 UTC]
I noticed a couple of paragraphs where 'Nvidia' has slipped in when it should be 'ATI' - pretty clear from the context but worth correcting.

Otherwise, very useful to have a single page with all the various distro instructions covered. Thanks!
