5 Cups of Ubuntu
Just bought one of these - http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-e-series/vpceb1z0e-b
Installed 9.10 64bit, install went smoothly, but now having a few problems with graphics card drivers and sound.
The system has a ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 Graphics so I guess it's too new for a driver?
Anyone else tried the same laptop?

Hi Birdman,
the laptop is very new and support is being worked on. the most active thread for sound is this one:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1424795
short answer both not working fully (sound and 3d graphics driver) at the moment, support should be up with ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx - I am running alpha3 of that at the moment, beta is out this week (nb both issues not solved yet)
Hope this helps, fingers crossed issues will be sorted soon

birdman:
as crypto has stated you can run 9.10 with the method he described -- unfortunately AMD has not yet release a driver that a full supports the card (and says so!) and support the newer xorg version to be found in lucid lynx

Just a quick update, graphics now work in Lucid. Although still having issues with sound. I believe it's being worked on.
Ubuntu addict and loving it
have you paprefs and gnome-alsamixer installed ?

Yes, just installed them.
I can see 2 sound devices,
Realtek ALC269
ATI R6xx HDMI
It's the ATI that I guess I need to get working.
