Current Issues

  • sound is choppy, slow and distorted
    • solve by turning off "PCI Bus Power Management" in the BIOS (thanks to Mike in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7386)

      • F1 on boot to enter BIOS Setup Utility
        • Config -> Advanced Setup -> PCI Bus Power Management: change to "Disabled".

      • F10 for Save and Exit, sound now works normally!
    • sometimes fixed by having certain PCMCIA network cards

Note

To watch DVDs specify more video memory in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, Section "Device"

   ## Sufficient memory for a full-screen DVD
   Option          "OverlayMem"    "829440"
