Laptop COMPATIBILITY List.

Acer Aspire One

Everything works except the multi-card reader but that may have been damaged when i had something lodged in it....... however i made a topic on it elsewhere in the forum because i wasn't sure and i'd really like my multi-card reader.

hp g42 laptop
core i3 2.4 ghz 3 mb cache
3 gb ddr3 1066 mhz
ati mobility radeon M6370HD

10.04 : dint like my ati chipset ... even the additional proprietary drivers dint help everything else fine .. including wireless and webcam, microphone
10.10 : additional drivers worked , and wireless drivers too everything else great
11.04 : BRILLIANT .. even without ati prop drivers this thing is turning out to be AWESOME.. even wireless worked without installing anything

[for best performance and reduced laptop noise and i increased battery life though i would recommend installing proprietary drivers .. the latest ones for natty and maverick are quite good from ati and the tearing issue has been finally fixed ]

1) Running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
2) HP
3) Pavillion dv4 1240tx

Ubuntu works like a charm. The problems being that I need wired internet before I can actually run wireless. NVDIA graphics support not very good compared to windows, and fingerprint reader not working. Everything else is really good.

HP OmniBook Xe3 (Xe3-GC)

Xubuntu 10.10

Works with issues

- Graphics acceleration does not work, crashes desktop when initialized (glxgears, screen saver...) Graphics Card: S3 Savage IX/MX
- Display freezes when computer is left alone (display does not start after power saving shuts it down)
- Power saving is not detected by ubuntu, also causes that computer does not shut down, has to be forced with acpi=force, after that works fine except for the display power saving problem.

SCREEN DETECTED WITH CORRECT RESOLUTION OK
PCMCIA OK
TOUCHPAD OK
KEYBOARD OK
KEYBOARD EXTRA BUTTONS MOSTLY OK
DVD-COMBO DRIVE OK
HDD OK
FLOPPY NOT TESTED BUT DETECTED
MINI-PCI OK
SOUND OK
USB OK
EXTERNAL VGA NOT TESTED
COM/LPT/PS/2 NOT TESTED

I have installed maximum allowed memory amount to this laptop (512MB PC-100) and Kingspec 16GB IDE SLC SSD, also I have replaced mini-pci communications card with wlan card.

1) Running Ubuntu 10.10
2) Hewlett Packard
3) G72

10.10 installed with minimal problems, on install, wifi didn't work, but after connecting via ethernet and updating the system, wifi worked straight off.

No hardware drivers required.

Default install gives full compiz, 1600*900 display, sound works, webcam works.

The only thing I've not tested yet is the built in microphone.

Also tested with a live USB of 11.04, everything appeared to work OTB.

Ubuntu 10.10 x64 Maverick Meerkat
Dell Studio 15 (1555)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.23 with 8GB RAM

Had to install ATI drivers for Radeon HD 4500 Series. (Installed from Additional Drivers App)

Wireless, NIC and sound worked out of the box. I will continue to test and update with anything I find that does not work. But it seems to be 100% up.

*Just got it home from work where I reloaded it and my dock, HP LaserJet 1012 are all working with 0 driver install on my part needed.

1)Version Of Ubuntu ~ 10.04
2)Laptop Maker _ Toshiba
3)Laptop Model ~ Satellite L650 19W

Installs and Runs wonderfully, after upgrading bios; no Ubuntu modifications necessary; installs straight from boot disk, file available from Toshiba, March 2011.


The Bios upgrade fixes this:
Without upgrade of Bios; could force install disabling ACPI, but unable to get Ubuntu, any '10' version or Kubuntu to run after install reboot, would also not run the demo version either. System locked up at loading; every time after loading kernel helper.

Note: to avoid invalidating warranty, install Bios upgrade from inside Windows 7.
