Aspire 5735, Jaunty dual-booted with the preinstalled Vista. Generally OK but following problems need attention.
1. Inbuilt Suyin Webcam doesn't seem to work on (eg) Skype. How do I test it?
2. Vista sits in a shrunken partition but it doesn't start.
Terminal results fro hwinfo --short, both before trying cheese and after are:-
