Hi just tested the new Maverick rc on this computer. Few issues that I had where.
Screen was blank (turns out that the screen brightness is set to 0...), that was easily fixed with fn + f3.
It seems that this only happened with the first few boots
Wireless doesn't seem to work. Will investigate more in a little
Works now with the broadcom propriety drivers
Fan seemed to be off or rotating very slowly with the result that the computer started to heat up very fast and started to burn my lap and there started to be graphical issues on the screen. Luckily after turning the computer off and cooling it for a little while things returned to normal. I just wonder what might have happened if I hadn't turn off... (overheating was noticeable after about 3min and turned the computer off in about 5min).
It seems that ubuntu is not able to adjust the fan speed! Resulting in system overheating. So if I boot with hot computer, the fan speeds up at the boot and I'm able to use ubuntu. But if I have "fan always on" option off in bios and boot with cold computer that spells big trouble! Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
After installing ATI propriety drivers. Wasn't able to startx until deleted xorg.conf from /etc/X11/. One thing that noticed was that after this fan speed is now changing correctly!! :)
After deleting xorg.conf lost the right mouse button.
