Re: Laptop INCOMPATABILITY List.
Version: 9.04
Maker: HP
Model: 4420s
Issue:
I tried installing from the live dvd, but the screen won't show anything. I went to 'try without installing', the cursor blinks for a while, and then the screen goes blank. Afer a while, I can hear the starting music, but there's still no display.
I went to 'install ubuntu', but the same thing happens: the cursor blinks for a while, then the screen goes blank.
Then, I installed it inside Windows. When i went to Ubuntu in the boot loader, again the same thing happens!
I've used the same DVD to install it in another laptop (Acer Aspire), and it's working fine. So, i guess it's nothing wrong with the DVD.

Problem #1: No brightness control, either through function keys, brightness applet, or power management settings.
Problem #2: No touchpad support -- no touchpad tab in Mouse options, no scrolling, no multitouch, no option to disable touchpad while typing (although Fn+F6 to disable the touchpad does work).
The lack of brightness control is a really bummer, otherwise I'd be spending way more time in Ubuntu and way less time in Windows.

Cannot boot. I get as far as the boot menu, but nothing after that. At one time it would boot and then black screen after a few minutes of being logged in. It is my understanding that this is related to the Intel 950 chipset.
Re: Laptop INCOMPATABILITY List.
1. Ubuntu 10.10 beta (32bits)
2. Lenovo
3. S10-3s
4. As least one function key no longer function, I can't turn on wifi, touchpad button also no response, worked on 10.04
5. Now the touchpad completely disabled after the update

Re: Laptop INCOMPATABILITY List.

Rather correct and increasing compatibility since 8.04.
Major issues are:
- Over temperature crash: can be overcame by forcing both CPU speed to 800MHz (rather than 2.0GHz). At this speed online video are lagging but correct when ondisk.
- USB Realtek RTL8187B Wireless Adapter and Chicony USB 2.0 Camera but working better since 10.04Lucid but still not able to install skype for instance.
- ATI fglrx divers worked strangly in 8.04Hardy but seem ok now in 10.04Lucid.
- Battery manager still reports absurd data particularly for charge but I didn't see power time difference with Windows.
PS: Should COMPATABILITY List and INCOMPATABILITY List merged into a PERFORMANCE REPORT common post ?

Re: Laptop INCOMPATABILITY List.
1. Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 (installed via Update Manager)
2. HP
3. Pavilion dv6000
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Button above the TouchPad to turn said TouchPad on and off completely locks up the computer when pressed.
- Wireless on/off switch on the front of the laptop does not work (wireless is always on).
- Installation with the 10.04 LiveCD does not work; the screen becomes corrupted when attempting to boot from this CD. I used the Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD, installed it, and then upgraded through Update Manager; no problems booting since then.
- Wireless multimedia remote does not work (mine could just have a bad battery, check yours).
- Quickplay controls (there are 2 of them) on the left side above the keyboard do not work, however the multimedia controls (stop, pause, play, fastforward, rewind, and volume) on the right hand side do indeed work.
- System > About Ubuntu does not work; it loads and then quits.
