Oh. I have a X1300 and every other version of Ubuntu would have those drivers for you to install. Jaunty is using new, updated drivers for it though. I personally enjoy it; however, I believe that there is better and possibly newer ones out there. I've done just a little research to try and find out what's up there. So far, nothing I've found is sticking out above the rest. What how-to are you following?
