It will tell you what kind of media drive it is. If it only says DVD, then it is just a DVD drive. If it says DVD-RW it burns DVDs.redDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-70995739846143531332008-10-31T04:43:00.000-05:002008-10-31T04:43:00.000-05:00Hi!<BR/>very usefull this site. what i would ask you is when could you post a cool and easy tutorial about making a dual monitor system ... i mean the something like <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BWsQpsB81E&feature=related" REL="nofollow">here</A><BR/>thanksLupuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095487541556631986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-40545293994415339272008-10-26T14:33:00.000-05:002008-10-26T14:33:00.000-05:00Brightness keys work out of the box on Intrepid RC, but I have the newest BIOS installed before.r4wMUnt34khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15826552575078655201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-5949851128904408412008-10-20T03:12:00.000-05:002008-10-20T03:12:00.000-05:00Brightness &amp; Volume<BR/>Brightness (Fn Up/Down Arrow) and Volume (Fn Page Up/Page Dn) keyboard shortcuts both dont work with BIOS 2.6.1<BR/>I use XUbuntu Hardy Heron 8.04<BR/>now i try to downgrade my bios version <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Paraschiv Alexandruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12079425598253840665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-88184461928140298262008-10-16T18:11:00.000-05:002008-10-16T18:11:00.000-05:00Hmm, tried it but it didn't work for me. If this is the case, go back into Driver manager, then re-enable Broadcom B43. I've got a feeling that wl only replaces the firmware, ie. Broadcom B43 is the driver and wl is the firmware.emorrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05628280459410503417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-13052384025123844422008-10-16T17:50:00.000-05:002008-10-16T17:50:00.000-05:00Hi, on the Ubuntu Hardy updates, another wireless driver, simply named "wl" has come on to Drivers Manager.<BR/><BR/>I spoke to some people on IRC, and they said that whereas the "Broadcom B43" driver was a reverse engineered driver, "wl" is the officially released one from the manufacturer, therefore is expected to work better.<BR/><BR/>On mine, both drivers were still selected, but you should be able to deselect the "Broadcom B43" driver and enable wl in order to use it.emorrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05628280459410503417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-54616894167096116932008-10-04T00:17:00.000-05:002008-10-04T00:17:00.000-05:00Everything I&#39;ve tried works fine so far, except the multiple monitor support isn&#39;t what you said it would be. I do not have the (System&gt;Administration&gt;Screens and Resolutions) menu. Instead, I have (System&gt;Preferences&gt;Screen Resolution), which has no concept of multiple monitors. Is Screens and Resolutions still an option, but buried somewhere?Nate Parsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463427386187889669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-46155727093051288762008-08-22T17:32:00.000-05:002008-08-22T17:32:00.000-05:00dd,<BR/><BR/>if you are new to linux why are you making things hard for yourself. open up a terminal and input <BR/><BR/>sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter<BR/><BR/>your wireless will work no problem.

I am loving everything about it. My hibernate doesnt work, but I dont really care about that. I have one issue though, sometimes my touchpad kind of freaks out. It jumps all over the place, and I had to disable the touchpad click because it would just click all over when it was jumping around. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue or if maybe it was a hardware problem?Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00083920690705691288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-20657575083791494502008-08-17T07:10:00.000-05:002008-08-17T07:10:00.000-05:00thank you so much for the first one. our house is basically dependent on wifi (laptops, ds, psp, wii, everything except the 360 at the moment), and my mum had no patience with vista. she loves her new toy...and i had to have wifi working by the time she got home from work.<BR/><BR/>ubuntu has another fan!<BR/>(i use osx out of personal preference and ease of use but the customization that ubuntu allows me has made me a fan, and when get a mac mini as a media centre that is what is going to be on a partition so i can stop using my mums laptop for it!).frankiecrazyprincesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14085830126650190696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-45863748847452885742008-07-15T22:44:00.000-05:002008-07-15T22:44:00.000-05:00I'm using bios 2.3.0 (seems weird that no one else is mentioning this one).
