Fresh install on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo La 1703
Result: Indecent. A total HORROR:
- 9.10 CD doesn't boot. I have to use the failsafe mode to install.
- WIFI not working. I had to use ndiswrapper with the Win XP Driver!!!
- VGA is CRAPPY: The screen work very bad, with some "broken shapes" in cursor, fonts and so on, like the resolution is "shrinked"
- Obviously, NO graphic acceleration at all!
- Sometimes screen is flickering, light goes on and off casually
- Closing the computer lid result in a total computer hang. I think this can be a problem of the damn and CRAPPY ACPI support: I really can't understand why is so difficult to fix ACPI or why is installed by default (because it causes really a lot of problems on almost ANY computer I ever saw in my entire life!)
And this is a 2007 Laptop, not a new one! I really can't understand why at today there's no support or fixes for this.
Maybe this version of Amilo uses a very bad, closed and ****** hardware?
Nothing in this forum was useful, I searched for hours.
Drivers for 9.04 from VIA hang the entire computer.
Following different howto's doesn't help.
Any help please?
