I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my Amilo Xa 1526 (because Vista is realy fukin shit
unable to copy files greater than somes megabytes via network without crashing like a bloody f***in #4é'!'ér 23éfkjbé'àçéd"é dam*#~"' shit
).
hmm... sorry
So:
No installation problem
* LAN works autodetected
* Bluetooth seems detected well but not realy tested.
* WLAN have to use NDISWrapper + WinXPMediaCenter drivers from siemens website, then it works well.
* USB printer HP 450 deskjet works autodetected
* Graphic Card OK (nvidia drivers updated automaticaly on first boot)
=> NVidia settings manager tool MANUALY installed (via Synaptic), works well.
* Hotkeys (Video, Mail, Browser, Power) seems to works well.
=> Fan hotkey not realy tested as I don't realy know what it's expected to do (someone knows ?)
* Fn+F1 : Hibernation OK
* Fn+F6 : Mute OK
* Fn+F10/F11 : Vol +/- OK
* Fn+F3 : Monitor swithing NOT TESTED yet
But
* Fn+F5 : Touchpad enable/disable: Doesn't seems to work, but not realy usefull.
* Fn+F8/F9 : LCD Brightness -/+ DOESNT WORK, and that's a problem because LCD is locked with low bright, even if we can play with Video Card setting, the LCD screen doesn't give the max brightness he can.
I heard you said it works with old Ubuntu/Bios settings ? Can you give more info please ? Anyone has a solution for this ?
* Firewire NOT TESTED
* Modem NOT TESTED (I do not use it, as I use lan to connect to internet)
* S/Video NOT TESTED yet

Anyone has more info about LCD Brightness trouble ? How can I make it work ? Any tips ?
