Ubuntu Version: 8.10

Hardware: MSI VR 330 Notebook

Works perfectly! No problems

[am7146]

Ubuntu 8.10
IBM Desktop w/USB 2.0 ports

Two webcams worked great straight out of the box:

Logitech Quickcam Communicate MP/S5500
Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks (2007 model)

Did a fresh install, plugged them in, /dev/video* just showed up and worked right out of the box with luvcview and motion after doing an apt-get install of both progs.

Pro has better quality image.

I just (a few hours ago) bought a brand new Acer Aspire 6930. Dumped Vista in favor of Intrepid and everything works right after install, wireless, compiz, sound, everything. Easiest install I have ever done.

[PGHammer]

Hardware: Wireless Ethernet (USB)
Manufacturer: SMC Networks (http://www.smc.com)
Product: SMC EZ Connect g

Surprise of surprises, all I had to do was point it at the folder containing the Vista drivers, and it configured itself with little prompting; all I was left to do was configure the type of security (WPA) and entering the passphrase. Notice that I did it in the same way I would do it in Windows - while the system was running.

Shocking.

Custom built machine:

Motherboard: Asus P5B (Intel P965 Express + ICH8 )
--onboard sound and ethernet work out of the box, southbridge allows for
--AHCI HDD operation, this works as well. Third party IDE/SATA controller --works, but is buggy with IDE drives (have disabled, using SATA
--DVD-Burner)

CPU - Intel Pentium D 930 (overclocked to 3.75ghz) - recognized fully.

Audio - Creative Audigy SE - works using ALSA CA0106 driver.

Video - BFG-made Nvidia GeForce 7950GTOC - works out of the box with
--xorg driver "nv". works well after enabling the proprietary driver
--in the "Hardware Drivers" dialogue (have also used Envy before with no issues)

Other notes - have been using Ubuntu (tried all flavors) on this machine since I believe 6.10, with very few issues.

Need a wireless card for your desktop computer or HTPC?

Try the D-Link DWA-556. It's a PCI Express desktop adapter. Works in x1, x4, x8, or x16 slots. Supports Wireless N (draft) and of course Wireless G.

This card worked beautifully for me out of box. No configuration was required. None. Even the Live CD was able to make use of it. It connects to wireless networks in seconds. Probably the most flawless piece of expansion hardware in my setup. I'm thrilled with it.

It is also FAST, even with my wireless G router. Web pages load seemingly faster than on my other computers which are hooked up via Ethernet and run Windows.

I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu - Intrepid Ibex.

PC104 Advantech Geode LX800 machine:

Advantech PCM-3353, 500 Mhz, 1Gb

Runs with 2.6.27 Xubuntu nicely, and also
with ACPI disabled in BIOS & kernel args

We also had luck cross-compiling the

APEX STX104 16bit ADC drivers & code
and
Symmetric Research PAR8CH 24bit ADC drivers & code

Only issue is that it will not mount USB memory sticks on reboot.

Still have not confirmed: watchdog, compact flash interfaces

Thanks for getting these LX800 patches in. Now we can dump Fedora!

Asus P5Q-Pro M/B
Intel E8400 CPU
Nvidia 9600GT Video Card
GSkill DDR2 800Mhz 8Gb Ram

Ubuntu 8.10 64bit Desktop.
Sound, network and video all working perfectly.

Have you turned on hibernation? I have nearly the same setup, but with an Intel Q6600 CPU and 2x2GB dual channel Corsair DDR2/800 MHz RAM. I've been having bootup and hardware problems that I suspect are related to power management. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...25#post6154425
