You do not identify you HW in any useful way. That said, there were plenty examples (not hyped up, real support calls) returning some recent intel based dell laptops with nvidia card because they could not get it working. I'd say, google your HW up on linux distros mailing lists. If you find that you got the same issues - consider doing what many others did - returning the HW and getting something which works. -Tom >
