> -- 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. ||<-5 tablewidth="80%"> '''Screen & Monitors''' || ||<|2> '''Device''' ||<-4> '''Works?''' ||<|2> '''Bug #''' || || Ubuntu 6.06 LTS || Edgy 7.04 || Gutsy 7.10 || Ubuntu 8.04 LTS || || Screen || Yes || No || Yes || Yes || || || Correct resolution? || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || Correct refresh rate? || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || 3D Acceleration || Untested || n/a || n/a || Yes || || || External monitor works? || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || External monitor - mirrors || n/a || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || External monitor - extend desktop || n/a || n/a || Yes || Yes, w/o composite || || ||<-4> '''Power Management''' || || Battery detected? || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || Hibernates? || Yes || n/a || n/a || Untested || || || Suspend || n/a || n/a || Untested || Yes || || || Dim monitor on battery || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || Blank monitor on inactivity || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || Lid Close || Untested || Untested || Yes || Yes || || ## || Cpu frequency scaling || n/a || n/a || n/a || n/a || || ||<-4> '''Sound''' || || Sound works? || Yes || Untested || Yes || Out only || || || Correct volume? || Yes || Untested || Yes || Yes || || || Hardware volume switch || Yes || Untested || Yes || Yes || || || Headphone jack || Yes || Untested || Yes || Yes || || || Mic jack || Yes || Untested || Yes || No || || ||<-4> '''Networking''' || || Wired NIC || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || Wireless NIC || Yes || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || PCMCIA NIC || n/a || n/a || n/a || Untested || || ## || Firewire || n/a || n/a || n/a || n/a || || || Bluetooth || n/a || n/a || n/a || Untested || || || Modem || n/a || n/a || n/a || Untested || || ## || Infrared || n/a || n/a || n/a || n/a || || ||<-4> '''Touchpad & Mice''' || || Touchpad || Yes || Untested || Yes || Yes || || || Touchpad - Doubletap = double click || Yes || Untested || Yes || Yes || || || Touchpad - Scroll down side || Yes || Untested || Yes || Yes || || || External mouse - USB || Yes || Untested || Yes || Yes || || ## || External mouse - Serial || n/a || Untested || n/a || n/a || || ||<-4> '''Docking Station/Port Replicator''' || || AC through replicator || n/a || Untested || n/a || Untested || || || USB || n/a || Untested || n/a || Untested || || ## || Serial || n/a || Untested || n/a || n/a || || ## || Parallel || n/a || Untested || n/a || n/a || || || External Monitor - VGA || n/a || Untested || n/a || Untested || || ## || External Monitor - DVI || n/a || Untested || n/a || n/a || || || Modem || n/a || Untested || n/a || n/a || || || NIC || n/a || Untested || n/a || n/a || || ## || PS/2 || n/a || Untested || n/a || n/a || || ||<-4> '''Additional Hardware''' || ## || Fingerprint reader || n/a || n/a || n/a || n/a || || || CD/DVD drive || n/a || n/a || Yes || Yes || || || PCMCIA cards || n/a || n/a || || Yes || || ## || Parallel Ports || n/a || n/a || Yes || n/a || || || Card reader(s) || n/a || n/a || n/a || Yes || || ## Add or remove keys as needed for your laptop.
