Yeah I definitely added the fingerprint reader. Works like a champ under Windows 7. They even have something where you can register your finger print for web sites. So I just bop over to my WF bank site, slide my finger and I'm in. Definitely cool. If I do get the finger print reader working in Ubuntu I wonder if it'll only be for log in...
Yes I still get garbage at the bottom of the X logout screen. It looks a little different but really who cares?
I believe I read (what the README? Who woulda thunk it!) where it said that the .2 was the one to use or that it would work with anything. The .2 was bigger. It worked fine for me...
Ok, some research here. According to ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...DME/README.txt under Chapter 3 Selecting and Downloading the NVIDIA Packages for Your System it states:
The package suffix ('-pkg#') is used to distinguish between packages containing the same driver, but with different precompiled kernel interfaces. The file with the highest package number is suitable for most installations.
So I went with the .2 package...
I also have the webcam and internal mic. I wanted to use Skype. On my desktop my external mic doesn't work at all. On the laptop, initially the mic worked but in an effort to resolve other sound issues I updated that driver. The mic broke! Again, in Windows everything works fine. I'm no Windows aficionado or zealot. I'm a Linux guy. And I want to jettison Windows. But come on people, you need to get up to the (I hate to say it) quality of Windows first. Surely we can kick their a$$es! Let's get this stuff working!
