Current Issues
Compiz does not work by default and not even after installing and using the nvidia driver. Otherwise the machine runs well.
Hardware details
One laptop tested uses a Radeon 9000 graphics card and the other uses nVidia GeForce4 Go 440.
To install the nVidia version do not use the Restricted drivers manager, because it is buggy. Just run
- sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx (...reboot...) sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
...but the nv driver works just fine also after adding the glx module in xorg.conf for OpenGL effects.
