My issue #1 got worse, issue #2 persists, and #3 got solved. I'm still interested in your experiences/successes with graphics drivers and the built-in speaker.</p>phdlinuxFri, 12 Dec 2008 12:51:34 -0000http://www.spikesoft.ch/?p=462#comment-4330025<p>Thank you for this writeup. I will try it after the disk image downloads.</p><p>I tried to use the "Distribution Upgrade" option in Ubuntu 8.04 to achieve a working 8.10 setup on a similar machine, and had several problems:<br> 1. X drivers and screen resolution stuck in low-graphics mode,<br> 2. No sound, and<br> 3. Repository conflicts. (Security updates, especially, not findable.)</p><p>Do these things work for you? In detail,<br> 1. What graphics resolution do you have?<br> 2. Can you play sound? Does YouTube show videos properly?</p><p>The power supply in my unit is very loud. You say you replaced yours. Does a standard PC power supply work in this box, or is something unique, special, and expensive required? ("The Apple tax.") Thanks.</p>phdlinuxThu, 11 Dec 2008 12:27:31 -0000
