----
I am currently "testing on the fly" using this Gateway for work & school.<
>
-- I had 6.10 LTS and Gutsy 7.10 loaded and dual booting w/M$.<
>
----
Links to GW's site are here for you to confirm any hardware questions etc...<
>
The Photo confirms we're using the "swivel touchscreen", as do the viewable ports and other features. The "touchscreen" and "stylus" have been a thorn in our side and will be documented and added to the forum, when fixed and working.<
>
----
== Other non-functional features ==
Pointing Devices: Gateway Executive Stylus with Gateway Continuous Sensing Technology<
>
Buttons: 4-way Scroll and Select, Screen Rotation Button, Windows Security Button, Windows Journal Button (programmable).
== Current Issues ==
{ This is the Wiki, Feel Free to add in a helpful way! }
* As of 2008-04-24, Sound Preference GUI: locks up when testing microphone.
* None of the (above) Notebook features work...yet!
* Not an issue * Continue to see "double-blurred" Gateway Logo {BIOS ?}-- when booting into either version.
== Personal Stuff ==
My Graphic Card died. Or whatever it is...as I'm unable to track what exactly it is ~ embedded on the MB?
References to Graphics, turn up a Viper - Motherboard with ATI 64MB Video (FRU).
If someone could lend some advice - so I can fix and use this thing ~ It be great!!!
== System Info ==
Output of the following commands:
{{{$ uname -a}}} : Linux 2.6.22-16-386 and 2.6.22-14-generic <
>
{{{$ sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer}}} : Gateway <
>
{{{$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name}}} : M285-E <
>
{{{$ sudo dmidecode -s system-version}}} : 3402687 <
>
{{{$ lspci}}} : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 <
>
== Hardware details ==
I cannot include any info concerning Edgy 7.04 as I could not get it installed.<
>
I'll leave tagged "n/a" for features I am unable to test and leave them open for change--if someone else can confirm and add.<
>
I also have no bug report information--because of lack of time to put into it.
