Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t

[prshah]

Hello,

I have a Lenovo S10-3t with the following information:

BIOS Information
        Vendor: LENOVO    
        Version: 24CN22WW  
        Release Date: 03/12/2010

It has the SIM slot under the battery. However, putting in a 3G enabled SIM has no effect; neither in Windows 7 Home Basic nor in Ubuntu 10.10.

I have read that some of these netbooks do not have the 3G modem and that a minipci card has to be installed separately for this; however, when I opened it up, I found the minipci slot to be already populated.

Any idea on how I can confirm wether or not my model is 3G capable? If it is, how to I use 3G? If you have a working 3G S10-3t, can you please post the output from the following terminal (Applications-accessories-terminal) commands:

lspci
lsusb
sudo dmidecode |grep -A 5 -i "bios info"

Has anyone had any success with using easystroke in Natty?

Hello to everyone. I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my S10-3t about a week ago and I have a big problem with videocard: after some random time of working I'm getting my system stucked and artefacts all over the screen. Has anyone had the same problems? Are there any solutions?

Sorry if my english is a bit rusty

Hm, can you provide a screenshot or photo?
Did this start happening right after you installed?
If you run on the live usb, does it happen?

No, sorry, I haven't tried it, GINN works well though.

That's impossible to take a screenshot, so here is the photo. http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/990/1005111553.jpg
Well, I amn't sure but I think it started right after the installation. I've read about problems with videocard drivers, can't it be this case? About live mode, I can't try it now, but in a next few days.

I can't get easystroke to work with Natty using the S10-3t touchscreen. It does with with the trackpad.
I can use the QuickScrolling plugin for Chrome to scroll with the touchscreen the way you'd expect.
Curiously, though, I can't use the touchscreen to scroll through a pdf using Evince, but the trackpad works as expected.
This is really wierd. Anyone have any ideas why?

The trackpad uses the synaptics driver which implements 2 finger scrolling.

The touchscreen uses the evdev (I think) driver which does not implement it, however, geastures can be recognised by other programs such as GINN.

Back to my question, I don't know how it actualy helped but when I reinstalled flash plugin the problem almost gone. Now it appears as blinking of all the windows, but rather seldom, only once or twice a day.

Ok, glad you got it mostly sorted. I am afraid I don't have any suggestions regarding your blinking windows but hopefully someone with more knowledge can you you there.
