I'm reviving this oldie for the similar reasons- I simply can't get any of the three USB sound adapters working on my W510, in any of the USB ports.

Devices that can be shown to work on Ubuntu...

I'm stuck RUNNING Notes on 64 bit machines. I've a laptop that behaves very well, but if I connect to work through my Cisco VPN client and try to use Notes... Well, the Calendar and Sametime work...

I have an old Thinkpad a20m (700 MHz Pentium-III/512MB RAM) that I occasionally waste my time trying to make "useful." I have not yet found a Linux distribution that I can get working completely....

Not to be too editorial, but this is has been on the issues list with this old a20m for YEARS now.
See, I can either have great and fast graphics (Fedora COMES with the DRM module working for...

Thanks for reviving the thread and reminding me what it was like on distros just a year ago. So much has change in the year! So much has stayed the same, too. Nice that we got the nspluginwrapper...

There are TONS of threads about disabling Synaptic recognized devices when one's pounding away at the keyboard, but my HP Mini's touchpad is recognized as a IMPS/2 protocol mouse... A mouse with a...

One won't see the increase in /proc/cpuinfo- for several reasons- but I will say that Hercules performs quite nearly identically between Windows 7 and Linux- the MIPS's are reported number-for-number...

Yup. See the flag for "ida" right in the /proc/cpuinfo.

Mine came with the "slice" battery, which provides a buffer . When I was very cold at the GF's house I took the slice off and used the heat from the bottom of the laptop to help warm my legs.

With a modern Ubuntu build (2.6.33-020633rc2-generic), no ACPI errors.

I don't think the Clickpad patch is applied to this particular kernel, but ACPI is working.

Still have graphics corruption...

(blush) I'm supposed to be working with the X folks on the video but have restored the laptop that I can install BIOS updates- when I installed Ubuntu I wiped the laptop, meaning that I made myself a...

Or you'd build your own.
Right now, the current kernel against which the patch works has "other issues" before it'll be part of Ubuntu (2.6.33-rc1), but things are moving right along. Since kernel...

Good news on the ACPI namespace read as mentioned in the HP hosted thread:

Just hope it's accepted quickly.

That'll make the machine rather more...

I like Real IBM Type-M's with the buckling springs, and a USB - to - PS/2 adapter.

I also like the keyboard on my Thinkpad A20M and (somewhat less so) the one on the X61T- do you not like the one...

Here's the thread. It's a different device and nobody's yet gotten the patches upstream to the kernel:

It sounds like you updated to the close-sourced driver at some point in time. The closed source driver will NOT work with the latest version of X on Ubuntu (the one distributed with 9.10, for...

Ubuntu 9.10.

Before the change to X 1.6, the accelerated closed source stuff from ATI was fantastic. 3D worked extremely well.

Of course, the mid-flight update to the new version of X destroyed...

Mrph. I'm thinking that this is related to the context that the DHCP client is running- as again, everything works when I run the client by hand.
Just not a good general solution.

Booo! Oh, that sucks. I have an SD reader right above the PCMCIA card- and had a 2GB card in it. Once I ejected it, the laptop started behaving.

But there might be an answer there- is it...

And in an unsavory post to myself:

It's the SD card reader- a card in the reader and some bonehead driver somewhere prevents things from working.

Ah, Linux, if it weren't for the caveats... But...

Used to work well on the IBM X-61, but it's not now on mine- Standard Ubuntu 9.10 install.

Only unusual thing about the laptop- I figure out how to get rotation with the serial Wacom working.

Been searching around on this a bit (University of Google...) and haven't found an answer.

Coming to Ubuntu 9.10 from Debian Squeeze and have found some things different about the networking that...

I've found that after years and years of experimenting with Linux that switching distributions never gives quick payoffs in terms of useability. Each distro does much right, and what they do wrong is...

I upgraded my tablet X61 and found...

Everything pretty much works- they finally got the ThinkVantage mapped to something X can see (so I don't need to do it myself in rc.local anymore).

I've been trying to find the "Best" Linux distro for my X61 Tablet.
I've a 7767-96U, but somehow have the 1.4GHz processor instead of the listed 1.5.
4 GB ram, 7200 RPM 160GB fixed disk. I've the...
