Thanks for the info.
However, the main thing I was hoping to find out with this thread was whether the laptop in general is usable, or usable enough to get by. As I said, I'm probably not going to...

Thanks, Favux! I knew N-Trigs were nasty, but I didn't know support was quite that experimental. Probably not the best choice, then. Out of curiousity, though, would/will the experimental driver...

I'm sorry... It's been a while since I used this forum, and I forgot that this wasn't really the section to post under. Could a moderator please move it somewhere more appropriate, and accept my...

I'm a university student in computer engineering, and I'm looking into getting a tablet laptop for note-taking, as a lot of my lecture notes are diagram-intensive, or are provided as skeleton notes...

@MadEgg: Thanks! I just got my G15 v2 today (replacing one of those Old-School Beige Compaq Keyboards Of Fail), and was wondering why the macro keys weren't working. So far, your patch works...

I have the 6715b, and I can confirm that it works fine with 4GB/64-bit Ubuntu. I haven't tried recompiling the kernel, but (as of now, anyways) 64-bit runs great on it, so switching to that would be...

I have an image (dd'ed) of a FAT32 recovery partition from an HP Pavilion desktop. I wasn't able to image the whole disk, due to storage limitations at the time, so I need to put the partition image...

EDIT: Sorry - late at night, and I posted this in the wrong forum. Mods, feel free to move it to an appropriate place, and sorry for the bother.

Hello all,

I was recently trying out Puppy...

Works great for me - thanks. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Desktop x86.

I can't speak for your model, since it has completely different sound hardware. However, you can try the link I gave in the update to my first post. The only change I would make is to select...

Hey all,

I just got a new HP Compaq 6715b (RM179UA), and was pleased to see that almost everything worked out of the box (had to use ndiswrapper, proprietary ATI driver - oh well), however, I've...

I'm no expert, but I would say... yes. The only reason I don't is because it's for my Palm (running Angstrom Linux) over a USB connection, and I don't care about it too much. Oh, and if you want to...

...Something's wrong with the permissions on my university hosting account - use the blog link in my above post to see the picture, and I'll try to work out the problem so that I can get the SVG and...

I think this link was already posted, but evidently people haven't been to it. Go to http://web.tiscali.it/carlobaldassi/ for source tarball, as well as packages for Feisty, Gutsy, Debian,...

The one on my HP Compaq nc6120 came off beautifully, as did the one on my now- (and pretty much since I got it-) defunct HP Omnibook XE3L GF. It left a mark, but not what I'd call residue. The guy...

I took it off and replaced it with this:

I made that during a rather boring comp-sci class - we were doing intro to C++, and since I've been doing programming in various languages since grade 6, I...
