Desktop Hardware Compatibility List.

[nlegere]

Laptop hardware incompatibility:

I can't seem to get the proper screen resolution. Some menus are hard to use/see because they are bigger than the screen.

My laptop is an HP pavilion dv 2000, not sure if it's the graphics card:

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M

or the display:

14.1" WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)

that is causing the problem.

When I open the 'display preferences' menu, it says the monitor is not recognized.
I've already installed the most recent driver for the graphics card.

Help please?? It's annoying!

1) Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

HP Pavillion 753n
Intel Pentium 4A, 2533 MHz (4.75 x 533) Processor
1024 MB (DDR SDRAM) Memory
500GB IDE Disk Drive HDD
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 (256 MB) GPU
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC (192.168.0.101) Ethernet
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105 (DVD:4x/2x/12x, CD:16x/8x/32x DVD-RW) Primary DVD-RW Drive
GVision L7EH (131331301963) Monitor
FIC VC19 (6 PCI, 1 AGP, 3 DIMM, Audio, LAN) Motherboard

I am using a HP Pavillion 753n. I transplanted the motherboard from the original case into an Antec Three Hundred case, and the front-mounted USB ports and everything work fine.

Other than that, using a Logitech Wireless USB Mouse, standard PS/2 keyboard (with multimedia buttons, but I haven't tried using ndiswrapper to make that work since I only recently found the XP driver for it).

I have a HP Photosmart C4480 Printer but I haven't used it quite yet, haven't had to print anything in Kubuntu yet.

No special configuration settings, am plugged in hard-wire to ethernet so I haven't had to setup wireless internet yet, although I do have a D-Link DWL-132 wireless adapter that works fine.

Everything else worked fine, didn't need to install any special driver for the graphics card, as the default one works fine.

The only thing that did not work correctly was the LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-451S (DVD+RW:4x/4x, DVD-RW:4x/2x, DVD-ROM:12x, CD-RW:40x/24x/40x . Will post details in the "hardware incompatibility list".

Asus P5B-VM, Nvidia 8600GT, Hauppague Nova-T-500, Leadtek usb dongle

8.04 & 8.10 intrepid

no issues with live CDs - install was flawless

mainboard functions 100% - was using both IDE & Sata, and onboard lan, onboard video was fine, but i needed DVI & so used nvidia 8600GT (gigabyte), only mainboard issue was that i couldn't get onboard nic to work with WOL. I used latest v4l drivers for Nova-t-500 & leadtek dongle, and all functions worked correctly. SPDIF also worked off the mainboard headers with newer alsa versions - ac3 pass thru worked on mythtv, mplayer etc

Dell Optiplex GX240 with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron installed on a dual-boot system

Specs:
1.7 GHz Pentium 4 Processor
384 MB RAM (one 256 stick and one 128 stick) with 133 MHz FSB
Two hard drives, a 40 GB with Ubuntu and a 20 GB with Windows 2000
NVIDIA 3DForce FX-5200 128 MB video card (works with both Ubuntu's open source drivers and the proprietary drivers)
Dynex DX-SC51 sound card (mobo sound card had to be deactivated for this to work in Ubuntu)

Ubuntu runs pretty well, although not as fast as Windows 2000. RAM usually sits around 170 MB when idle and it's never peaked 300 MB (however, at it's peak, the swap has gotten up to 250 MB). The processor runs at it's peak when using YouTube and can't seem to handle playing Pandora in the background while doing anything mildly resource intensive. Sound is good quality and the video card/CPU can handle the cube desktop along with most other advanced settings (however, it can crash if too much is going on at the same time). Boot up time is pretty quick but it takes a while to load up GNOME (usually 1.5 to 4 minutes).

[*]AMD Athlon(tm) XP-M 3000+ Processor (based on AMD64 K8 core)

Wrong, Athlon XP-M is not a K8-based processor!

It's 32-bit only!

Ubuntu 9.04 on:
FUJITSU SIEMENS Dual core 3.06 Ghz P5SD1-FM2
ATI Technologies Inc RV515 [Radeon X1300]
1 Gig of RAM
250 GB HDD
SiS AC'97 Sound Controller

Also running
Epson TX100 Combo (Printer, Scanner)
AMW 19" Monitor

Everything worked with little need for configuration, EXCEPT the scanner. Info from the Ubuntu forums where not very helpful, in the end I used a driver from AVASYS. Easy install, worked straight out (once I managed to navigate through the site): http://avasys.jp/hp/menu000000900/hpg000000859.htm

Details: Works as expected without drivers/custom config. The only thing that does not work is the button usually assigned to MSN Messenger. The other buttons (Vol up, Vol Down and Mute Mic) work perfectly. Build quality is good.
