== Current Issues ==
## List any issues you have with the current development release here
Ever since, I upgraded to Gutsy, there has been a distinct slowness when starting up and logging in on but have yet to pin point the cause of it. I suspect that the possibly Xgl is slowing the startup process although I never experienced this on Feisty with Beryl.

=== Notes ===

[1] Proprietary nVidia drivers required for correct function. NOTE: For correct resolution, first install nVidia proprietary drivers, then edit xorg.conf to include "1280x800" as a resolution to change it to wide screen in System Settings.

[2] Screen is blank changing power levels (hibernation, standby or suspend), I couldn't tell whether it had locked up or not until it finally powered down. Standby appeared to make the screen black and would not come back. THESE OPTIONS MAY BE UNSTABLE.

[3] Suspend makes screen permanently black when initiated by lid close. Needed to restart to get screen back

[4] Scroll area is an entire 1/3 of the touchpad surface for some reason. Haven't worked out how to fix this yet.

[5] Needed to edit xorg.conf to get Touchpad options to work properly (Dapper Only): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#head-771b9659c0e19809759b49f470d568c7d7a36cc3

[6] hotkeys need to be remapped in Feisty to get internet launch and CD controls to work.

[7] On resume, all network adapters and Bluetooth fail to restart. Wireless networking can be resumed by turning Wireless adapter back on (Fn + F2), however System Guard still believes the adapter is disconnected. Also, may need to set NetworkManager to Offline mode then back to Online mode before wireless networks are rediscovered.

[8] External monitor is detected automatically on startup but resolution is usually wrong, also the auto-detection usually confuses the external monitor with the laptop's built-in LCD.  But this was rather easily resolved by going to Screens menu in System / Preferences to adjust the resolution. Oh and it alters your xorg.conf in the process.

[9] Both the Build-in Mic and the external Mic works out of the box however, the build-in mic is disable if the external Mic is plugged in.


'''This laptop was tested by PacShady with Kubuntu Dapper, Gutsy, and Hardy Beta, with all latest updates.'''

'''Updated by [[Brinley]] with Ubuntu from Dapper to Gutsy.'''

NOTE (Dapper Only): usplash fails at shutdown/restart and virtual terminals fail after nVidia proprietary driver install. To fix, add "vga=786" (without quotes) to /boot/grub/menu.lst at the end of the line starting with "#kopt=". Remove this vga for Gutsy otherwise virtual terminals will not work.
