Needs Tweaks
- Video
- Nvidia drivers can be loaded by either:
- Enabling the restricted repository and running
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
- Installing the envyng-core package and running
$ envyng -t
- Enabling the restricted repository and running
- Nvidia drivers can be loaded by either:
- Sound In:
- Must be unmuted in Volume Control (Click on volume tray icon, click on Volume Control, select Capture: HDA Intel - AD198x)
- Internal mic is very quiet relative to line in, so you may have to turn it above 100% using the Manager utility from the padevchooser package.
- ThinkFinger
Append following line to '/etc/apt/sources.list': deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-oberheide/ubuntu jaunty main Execute: sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger libthinkfinger0 Restart Execute: tf-tool --acquire && tf-tool --verify
- Card Reader
Append the following to '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf': # Seems the ricoh_mmc driver screws up the internal card reader so we'll blacklist it until it's fixed blacklist ricoh_mmc
Doesn't Work
- ACPI
- Suspend to Disk (tested with LVM encryption): Successfully unlocks encrypted volume and starts "waking up stage." Video then becomes corrupted and computer locks up.
Untested
- fingerprint reader
Other Issues
