=== Fixing the screen resolution on Feisty=== The VGA chipset driver is SiSM760GX The lscpi output shows this:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 760/M760 Host (rev 03)
I manually added a 1280x800 to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter"

EndSection=== Activating the WIFI Feisty/Gutsy=== The lscpi output shows this:
00:0b.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
There are 2 ways to make it run:
1-USE THE NATIVE linux driver
Note: This hangs the machine on boot for me -alexanderfaucher at gmail
Note: Unstable with Gutsy 64 -TiagoBonetti
http://boredklink.googlepages.com/ubuntuguide You'll need the original firmware from here. To get the 64bit WindowsXP driver ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/ferrari_4000/driver/winxp64bit/80211g.zip
2-NDISWRAPPER Note: This oops'es ocassionally. Also benifits from rmmod, modprobe ndis after it stops responding (assuming no oops) -alexanderfaucher at gmail
