Notes
1. Dual-boot installation: Windows Vista Business + Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon
2. In System -> Administration -> Screen and Graphics Preferences:
Screen:
Model: LCD Panel 1280x800 (widescreen)
- Resolution: 1280x800@51Hz
Graphics Card:
- Driver: nvidia
May 10, 2008 update: upgrade to Hardy Heron + installation of the nVidia drivers as per http://www.funnestra.org/ubuntu/hardy/ has fixed my resolution management issues.
3. Results of 3D acceleration tests:
$ which glxgears | xargs strings | grep benchmark | xargs glxgears 13063 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2612.487 FPS $ glxinfo | grep rendering direct rendering: Yes $ lspci|grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M G (rev a1)
4. External monitor used during the tests: Compaq FP7317
5. With Gutsy Gibbon, when I closed the laptop lid, let the computer go to sleep mode and then opened it again, I had no wireless network; I had to turn the wireless switch off then on to restart the connection. This has been solved in Hardy Heron.
