    Re: Laptop COMPATABILITY List.

    hi
    ubuntu 10.10 mostly works on an eee pc 1000H with the netbook edition.
    wireless works in every instance except for when resuming from suspend with battery power only - strangely it works when plugged into the mains. Turning off wifi (with the working hot keys) and then re-enabling it works fine.

    However, suspend to ram does not work properly without modifications.
    It was necessary to modify /etc/default/grub
    and change
    GRUB_CMBLINE_LINUX=""
    to
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_sleep=nonvs"
    and issue a "sudo update-grub" command

    Other users have complained about hibernate not working - I have not had this problem but I installed using manual paritions and ensured that my swap partition was larger than my ram size.

    Re: Laptop COMPATABILITY List.

    Dual Boot with win7 on C and 10.10 maverick on sda5.
    Laptop Model: T500
    Make: Lenovo, 3gb ram
    Installation of ubuntu - it was a breeze, detection of wi-fi, wired, software install, drivers all is working smooth without any hitch.

    i even use virtual box so someday i ll have to think of making an exit from win7 on drive c !!!
    Ubuntu + Linux = UbunTux !!! Gr8 combo !!!

    I burned Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) .ISO to a DVD, then loaded Ubuntu on a partition along side Windows 7 (64 bit). Starting the laptop will give you the option of booting Windows 7 or Ubuntu, both of which work perfectly.

    Ubuntu supports all devices out of the box, including the built in wireless network card and the web cam. You need to install a program such as "Cheese webcam booth" to use the camera, but you don't need to worry about driver support for the hardware. Same for the Atheros AR5B93 network card, works right away. Depending on your personal network configuration, different things may have to be done to get your Ubuntu machine to connect to a windows network and interface with shared network folders and drives. If you're not familiar with Ubuntu, its more difficult to find the information about what needs to be done than actually doing it.

    This model, and many others in the 110 series, will freeze on shut down. This is a bug with a wirless driver that does not exist. You will have to enter the terminal to blacklist the drivers. Answers can be found in the threads.

    Gateway 6020gz with Ubuntu 10.10 installed. Wireless card (Broadcom) works perfectly with 10.10, wasn't so with earlier installations. Only issues noted so far are graphics problems when using the FN button to either turn up the volume or lighten/darken the monitor. The functions work, however the on-screen graphic that represents these functions is just a box of static.

    1)Version Of Ubuntu 10.10 64bit Maverick
    2)Laptop Maker HP Compaq
    3)Laptop Model
    6715b (2x AMD Turion, 4GB memory)

    It is working very well. Except the finger print reader which I don't need anyway.
    The 3D speed on the ATI X1250 video card is much better than on previous releases.
    Still only about 14fps so no good for gaming but compiz effects work well. (3D cube)
    Sketchup 8 running under XPpro in VirtualBox works fine.

    Not sure if the accelerometer is doing anything to protect the hard drive but it is detected.

    There is a bug when the lid is closed. It is set to "Blank screen" in the power management utility but when the lid is opened I get a Shutdown window and I am unable to select Cancel. All the keys and cursor are inoperative. It then shuts down in 60 seconds.

    Update: with Kernel 2.6.35-24-generic the "Blank Screen issue is fixed (6th. Jan 2011)
