Gutsy: Ubuntu restricted drivers failed to work, X wouldnt start. Used Envy with workaround found here: http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=107 . Then nVidia drivers work, deskop effects work, but not in combination with other 3D apps. Other 3D apps work with desktop effects disabled. Trying both at once results in hard freezing. |

Integrated microphone doesnt seem to work Webcam doesnt seem to work Bluetooth worked in Feisty, doesnt seem to work in Gutsy (Tribe 5). Sound works, but in some apps, the quality is extremely poor and there is a lot of static and distortion or sound just drops for a short time. Happens in some games and in Skype. |
