    Ubuntu 6.10
    Dell Precision M90 laptop workstation:
    2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo T7200, 4Mb cache | 2Gb (2*1024) Samsung DDR2-667 5.0-5-5-13 | Seagate Momentus 7200.1 100GB 7200, 8MB cache | NVIDIA Quadro FX2500M, 512Mb, driving 1920x1200 LCD | Maxtor 3200 USB2 500GB 7200, 16MB cache | Sony DVD+/-RW DW-Q58A | Broadcom gigabit ethernet

    The processor is not recognised, but runs, and is correctly shown as two cores.
    The video card - the OpenGL version of the G71 core as used on 7900GTX - is not recognised, shown as an 'unknown device 029a', but runs at native resolution and full color depth. Adding the NVIDIA-supplied binary driver enables full OpenGL support which works well.

    The Ricoh SD/MMC/MemoryStick/xD reader is partially recognised.

    I have not tried the IEE1394 port or the smart card reader.
    Sound works, burning DVD works.

    I just need to include this:

    I checked for a replacement printer for my aging Epson Stylus Photo 820 (worked very well in Linux) & finally decided on a Brother HL-2070N Laser printer.

    To make a story short & sweet: After downloading two small files from Brother Support (both .debs), I just plugged in the unit & after printer setup--cleanly printed the test page & several jobs I needed to do-----all within 20 minutes of walking in the door with the unit. Brother's support was very clear & to the point. All-in-all, a very positive experence!!!

    I wrote the following to Brother's tech support:

    I am just writing to thank you for excellent support for my new Brother HL-2070N Laser printer. i downloaded your two drivers & installed them--then setup the printer & printed a test page within 20 min of walking in the door with the new unit.

    BRAVO!!!!
    I had used a Epson Photo Stylus 820 & several HP products prior--none were as easy to setup & use as your unit!!!

    Thank You for a job VERY well done.

    Everything works fine, but card-reader. Also i've spend 30 minutes on dial-up modem installation. It does work with freeware Connexant driver. Guess they are all the same on all Sony laptops. Media buttons don't work as well, but i didn't even try to install whether card-reader or media controls. Probably it has an easy solution.

    • Ubuntu 6.10 is operating smoothly with the set-up above, however, it is advisable to use 1GB DDR2 memory for better performance.

    Re: Desktop Hardware Compatibiliy List.

    Two Brother HL2030 laser printers (monochrome) using Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper, each on a 2.8GHz PC.

    I bought one printer about a year ago for the first PC and found it so easy to instal and it worked so well that I have bought the same model printer for a second PC. The HL2030 is 16 pages per minute, 8MB memory, 2400 x 600 dpi and connects via USB 2 cable.

    I have just bought the second one from Amazon UK for £60.85 plus VAT (and a USB cable at £2.55 plus VAT). [Make sure you are buying direct from Amazon and you can use "Supersaver" to get free delivery in the UK.]

    I downloaded drivers from the Brother Linux printer driver pages. Instal the LPR driver first from:
    http://solutions.brother.com/linux/s...r_drivers.html
    The method is here:
    http://solutions.brother.com/linux/s...r_install.html

    Then the CUPS driver from:
    http://solutions.brother.com/linux/s...s_drivers.html
    The method is here:
    http://solutions.brother.com/linux/s..._install3.html

    Check in Systems | Administration | Printing to make sure the printer is shown.

    Connect the printer to the power and switch on. Connect the USB cable to the PC, then to the printer. Press the "Go" button on the printer to print a test page

    Happy printing!
