ubuntu 9.10 on Qosmio x500 10q

[patfrat]

Hello,
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a Toshiba Qosmio x500 1Oq
Some problems :

- wifi does not work natively, i have had to compile the r8192se_pci driver
see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329254
Does Ubuntu 10.04 and the 2.6.32 kernel will resole it ?

- bluetooth is not activated until you do it through windows with the Toshiba software

- the microphone does not work

- the boot freeze 2/3 times until you delete the splash option in the kernel line boot in /etc/default/grub file and do a sudo update-grub

- the screen is shaking, is noisy, i don't know how to say it, when you log in a console with CTRL+ALT+Fn or close the session
perhaps the 185 nvidia driver is not completely the good driver for the nvidia gts 250 card ???

- the fingerprint is not working, recognized as an Attentec 2550

But this laptop is not mine and i can't now sending bug to launchpad !!
If you have the same laptop and same issues, you can help me and my friend having rhis laptop !
Thanks in advance !

As for your video card......i have the same one. Try using the Nvidia 190 graphics drivers. Works great here!

[patfrat]

Ok, thank you ... so, you have no problem with this driver for the gts 250 !
I will try it.

[patfrat]

Ha, the driver 190 does not resolved the graphical issue ...
It is more a Usplash issue i think !
Another person has tested it ...
I have had also to remove the splash command at boot to boot alaways correctly !!! Is is Usplash too ?

Do you have the driver selected in your xorg file?

Post the output of

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[patfrat]

I can't post the xorg.conf because this is not my laptop
but i will contact the owner to send me it.
But, after installing the 185 nvidia driver, the 3D acceleration is OK
It does not seem to be a nvidia issue for another qosmio x500 10q owner but perhaps because of usplash and the refresh rate !!!!
