I don't believe you. I have high end machines too... They all work. (About 25) Some took some effort, but only a few systems with old and cheap stuff. This is being typed on a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard with a Inetl Corei7 Quad core, and nVidia GTS250 graphics with 24 gig of ram. (Work system, so that is why the low end graphics) Worked out of the box with Lucid. I believe there is a lot more to your story. Like perhaps your "high end" stuff is the cheapest Chinese components you can source... And they don't have drivers? <shock> Those can take a bit more effort. Or perhaps the well known Intel i855 graphics chipset bug? (Fixed in Maverik, by the way) Only being willing to put an hour into learning a new system is not a bug we can easily patch. But if you want help, go ahead and e-mail me. I bet I can find drivers for much of your stuff. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu 4 dz, which is a direct subscriber.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
