On at least 3 CPUs that Ubuntu (and other distros) couldn't do video detection properly, I'd first load the Knoppix live CD, which would detect the video. I'll then save the Xfree config file, then use the file for the other distros, and they'd manage to load Xfree properly. Obet On Thursday

I think that the site: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ provides a "fix" for the IPW3945ABG. The fix essentially involves 1. building from source the package ieee80211 2. installing microcode: ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2.tgz 3. installing regulatory daemon: ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz You should try this.

Hi Elmer. Curious lang ako: subukan mong kumuha (o idownload sa Internet) ang Knoppix Live CD at gamitin ito sa iyong computer. Sa karanasan ko, mas magaling ang Knoppix sa hardware detection. KDE rin ang kanyang default GUI. Obet On Thursday 22 March 2007 2:23 am, member elmerclaveriajr wrote

Maligayang bati! Nais ko po lamang ibahagi sainyo ang aking karanasan sa pag-install ng Edgy Eft (KUBUNTU) sa aking Dell Inspiron 640m. Sa simula, hindi agad magtutuloy tuloy ang pag takbo ng liveCD dahil sa problema sa BIOS. Kailangan baguhin ito para tumakbo ang X sa 1440x900 na resolution. Hi
