Since every second windows variation is a disaster (ME, Vista..) I think I will wait until windows 9 for my gaming machine. My work PCs and office all run Ubuntu and will continue to do so for the...
I have the same problem. I have followed so many guides on this yet none of my devices running windows, linux or android can see my hotspot.
I didn't like Unity much at first either but since Oneiric, it has really grown on me. I even find myself sometimes frantically bashing my mouse pointer at the left of the screen on my Windows game...
If you are just using it for business, everything works fine. Wifi works, trackpad (no right click though but I use an external mouse).
However if you want to use any OpenGL software like games...
Ok, so purging fglrx and reinstalling the open source driver got switcheroo back.
That still doesn't help me force the discrete (ATI) card to be used so I can install the closed source driver for...

I also have this problem in Oneiric 64bit. I've tried everything, even installing Opera but the effect is the same in all browsers. Audio lag of about 1 second in all flash apps. None of the...
What about Hybrid gfx?
Do we have to wait to get switchable gfx working?
I want to use the Radeon HD 6850 since this is a desktop replacement and battery life is not a consideration.
I tried...
OMG +1 to you. After spending about $2.3k on a laptop, you 1/2 expect there to be a numlock key lol.
That is also my question.
Just got an Envy 17 with...
Core I7 2630QM @ 2.0Ghz
8Gb Ram
ATI Radeon 6850M
No change for me. Thanks for trying though :)
This post should be stickied in any forum that has Vaio X users :)
Hi Tista. Thanks for the reply :)
There was a 10-emgd.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
I just replaced it with your setup and IT WORKS!
Thank you so much. Now I can use this little beasty...
Hi Tista. Thanks for taking the time to do something for us neglected Vaio X owners :)
I tried your conf but the result is still this...

I have an M17x R2. Just use the driver suggested by Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers" tool. It works fine.
Just be aware that 11.04 doesn't seem as snappy as 10.10 was for ATI users. Make sure you...
Hey another Alienware M17x user! :)
On mine, the headphones are muted by default in Kubuntu 11.04. Unmuting in Alsamixer fixes that.
Great. Gnumeric doesn't handle it either. Looks like my only option is to go the MS Office 2007 route in order to continue using Ubuntu in the office. :(
LibreOffice is NOT OpenOffice.
The fact that LibreOffice is unable to import a csv file is a showstopper for me. No import dialog like openoffice where you can choose the separation character, and...
Me too? :)
I am on 11.04 now and the Skype icon is gone at startup (Skype is one of the startup programs). I have to remove and re-add the notification area to get the icon to show. I had a...
I can confirm that this works for the Sony Vaio X. I got the Desktop to boot from USB and I'm running the installer now! :)
Nice one, thanks!
I know this may not be helpful but from my experience, the hardware Sony uses in their VAIOs is well, to put it bluntly.. weird. I had a similar experience with my Vaio X with a GMA500 chipset. I...
I've been trying to set this up too but without success.
There is a blog post at http://jaap.haitsma.org/2010/08/17/make-portable-hotspot-with-gnome-network-manager/ that suggests to use built in...
There is only one thing I hate in Ubuntu.... Pulseaudio!
Getting sick of having to use pulseaudio -k when sound starts to disappear to have sound working again in flash, WINE, skype etc.......
