Notes
Feisty: Used the binary drivers for the NVidia video card
Gutsy: Ubuntu restricted drivers failed to work. Used Envy with workaround found here: http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=107 . Drivers work, deskop effects work, but not in combination with other 3D apps. Other 3D apps work with desktop effects disabled.
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.
