Dell XPS M1710

Nytt leketoey:
Dell XPS M1710
Core 2 Duo
2 Gb minne
Nvidia 7950 GTX (512Mb)
120 Gb
(Vista Business)

Den korte versjonen: Alt ser ut til aa fungere ut av boksen paa Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.

Den litt lengre:
Maskinen er elendig partisjonert naar den kommer fra Dell og naar du faar baade Symantec og Windows sine innebygde "sikkerhetsfunksjoner" paa nakken, saa skjoenner du fort Apple sine "Vista security" reklamer. Men det gjoer ikke noe, ut med det gamle og inn med det nye:

Hoyreklikk paa taskbaren, Properties
Start Menu -> Customize
System Administration -> Display on All Programs Menu
System Administration -> Computer Management
Disk Management
Velg C:\ , hoeyreklikk, Shrink Volume. Reduser slik at du faar minst 20 Gb ledig.
Slik saa det ut hos meg:
45 Mb FAT
10 Gb Recovery (D:\)
85 Gb OS (C:\)
2 Gb (ukjent)
Hele disken skal formateres foer eller siden, men i foerste omgang valgte jeg aa resize c:\ til 48 Gb, slik at jeg hadde 37 Gb ledig bakerst.

Feisty Fawn:
Sjekk CDen foerst med "Check CD for Defects" paa foerste skjermbilde naar den booter.

Hvis maskinen har Intel 3945 saa burde alt fungere etter oppstart, men skjermen vil ikke vaere widescreen. La det vaere til du har installert ferdig.

Under installasjon, velg manual. Opprett en logisk Ext3 partisjon i den ledige plassen bakerst. Sett av 1 Gb til SWAP.

Ubuntu vil mase en del om en FAT16 partisjon som Windows ikke vil like. Det er de 45 Mbene med diagnoseverktoey som Dell har lagt foerst paa disken. Bare trykk continue.

Resten av installasjonen burde gaa greit.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
sudo nvidia-xconfig

Foer du restarter X:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Legg til "1920x1200" paa linjen for opploesninger for 24 bits fargedybde (nesten nederst):
