I've just put ubuntu on my new qx410. There are a few issues I've encountered, which I've found to happen to everyone with ubuntu on a qx410.
The main issue, at least for me, is the touchpad. It's recognized as a "PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse". There is no touchpad tab under system>preferences>mouse, and so I can't configure side scrolling, disabling it while I type, or anything useful like that. I think this is because there's no driver for it yet...? Very very annoying.
Second issue is the graphics. Jockey offers me the nvidia driver, which installs just fine but prevents the computer from booting properly (I just end up with tty1, where I disable the driver and reboot). This issue doesn't bother me at all, but it's still an issue.
Third, most minor issue is that of the volume and brightness keys. If you do fn-up or fn-down it'll change the brightness, fn-left and fn-right for volume. It works, I guess, but it fails to recognize when you stop pressing the key, and glitches out your keyboard, pretty much preventing you from doing anything until you reboot. I just solved this by setting some volume and brightness hotkeys and avoiding that particular key combo. No problem.
I understand that the QX line has only been available for a month or so, so it'll probably take a while for support to be out there. However, if anybody's got any sort of solution, particularly for the touchpad issue, I'm open.
