    Thanks Terry for the good video review and your notes here.
    I'm not a dev but can help dig for answers to these issues once my 700Z7C arrives.

    Re: Laptop COMPATIBILITY List.

    Any feedback yet concerning Lenovo T430 laptops?

    Before installing Ubuntu I am interested in knowing if there would be any need to install software such as thinkfan. Would be a basic T430 in fact; Intel graphics and wireless; no camera, nor fingerprint reader.

    Is not enough some testing with a Live CD? You can see the hardware compatibility not installing the OS but just keeping in the temporary memory. Just burn it and boot from a cd.

    Re: Laptop COMPATIBILITY List.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding -- to rephrase it correctly, the laptop has not been bought yet. Though, Ubuntu would be the operating system of choice on it for sure.

    I am thinking of this thread as a viable place (short of creating a separate thread) to ask for compatibility degree towards it, especially since no thorough examination seems to have been posted on the web regarding the ralationship between such laptops and Precise.

    Everything seems to work out of the box with 2 minor exceptions:


    1. The display is corrupted with graphical artifacts on boot - http://i49.tinypic.com/4l4l6a.png - but resolves itself after switching resolutions then reverting back. Sometimes requires more than one attempt (have not tested Bumblebee).

    2. The WiFi card stops working and is unable to recover after going into standby.


    Hope this helps!
    OS : 12.04 64bit
    Maker : ASUS
    Model : A43E-VX389D

    Everything is fine but the monitor : ,

    Just like TerryMasters, the prob is solved if I maximized the window, or drag/ move the window. Sometimes it wont disappear by just resize the window. So I have to double the way I maximized/ minimized/ moved the position, till the error gone.

    Re: Laptop COMPATIBILITY List.

    @thom_: what is your video card and what driver are you using ?

    (to know which video card, do:
    Code:
    lspci | grep VGA
    ... and post the output in a new thread, we can maybe help)

    You guys need to try LinuxMint. They don't use the Ubuntu Unity crap. I'll post review and findings next week.

    Re: Laptop COMPATIBILITY List.

    1. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Mint/Xubuntu/Ubuntu all tried)
    2. Samsung
    3. Netbook N102SP


    What works:
    • Wifi
    • USB
    • Onboard audio out
    • Onboard ethernet
    • Onboard bluetooth
    • Jack speaker cancellation
    • Onboard SD reader
    • Battery hardware monitor
    • Onboard webcam (no mic though)
    • Function keys (See link at end of post)
    • Sleep/resume
    • Lid close sleep


    What doesn't work :

    • Brightness function keys
    • VGA monitor port
    • Graphics adaptor
    • Onboard mic


    For full details and a couple of workarounds for the brightness issues, please see this cross-post set up specifically at addressing the things that don't work:

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2006550


    At time of posting, graphics driver, mic, brightness and VGA connections still remain a no-go which is a shame given that so much works well.
