Do you think you could go into BIOS and change the amount of RAM the graphics is gobbling down to 4-8MB? Maybe the old BIOS won't support this feature, try it anyway... It may help with your issue. Will On 28/11/2013 12:45, Inti Alonso wrote: Im testing in a desktop with an AMD Duron 1.6, 256mb

I can attest to good performance of 12.04 on an Asus EeePC 4G. Can't send in screenshots, though. My EeePC's power adaptor is still out of commission and Haiyan just passed by. Electricity is very scarce here these days. - Joan On Nov 16, 2013 2:00 AM, "Bruno Benitez" wrote: > As technological

This would also be a good time to warn people about troublesome hardware platforms. Engineers often are able to experiment until they get their rig working but what about the non-computer-technical end users? For example (my own experience of this past year), it's too easy to fall into the trap o

As technological boundaries move on, and as newer hardware and softwaremake t heir presences felt, perhaps it is time to take a look at our hardware requirements. [1] Many users move to Xubuntu from older computers to try to "revitalize" them. While the system will work, and they will be able to
