I picked up an Acer TravelMate 4202 the other day with a duo core T2300 chip in there. I've installed Kubuntu Dapper (with the 7th test disk - rc7?), and after some initial problems seem to be running more or less fine. Except for two points.
First, I only have a resolution of 1024x768. Nothing more, nothing less is available to me. Apparently this is a known issue to be resolved in the official release of Dapper, but stems from a fault in the system BIOS (not listing resolutions other than this). There is a reference to a fix for this via a 915resolution patch. Anyone have any experience with this? Or other suggestions? Second, the wireless card is not detected in any way, even though it is powered up. It's an Intel a/b/g job. Any tips on getting this going? I did find reference to a driver for ipw3945 and have downloaded the tarball, but thought I'd check to see if anyone has experience with this before trying to install it. (not sure if I fully understand the instructions yet either). Any tips? Thanks for any suggestions. (Gustin, the pure Debian install was taking tooooo long, and the Dapper install detected the broadcom card - once I had a cable plugged into it...)
