Greetings.

I upgraded to Gutsy and things seem alright. The wireless works OOTB.
Had to perform the traditional ALSA ritual for sound though.
Suspend to Disk and Ram work ok.

Currently, I'm dispensing with the Nvidia driver menagerie and using
VESA which is quite alright. However, the new fangled 'Screen and
Graphics' utilities never seem to get the configuration for an 'LCD
Panel 1920x1200' right.

The funny thing is that the various supported resolutions for this
option have everything BUT 1920x1200. I need the modelines for this and
couldn't figure out how to get them. Anyone got a xorg.conf for me ?

Also, network manager seems to not detect the e1000 NIC. I have to
dhclient3 eth0 it manually to work.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Robin
