| On the laptop i installed Ubuntu myself, and had the same problem myself with the Nvidia driver. i haven't use it since (last year) because of that.

| If the laptop was new at the time the hardware support might not have been great. If you try the latest release you should do better. YMMV

| Actualy the laptop was about 1 year old. I checked the Ubuntu website and at that time I installed the recommended one by them and it made it worse. I'll probably give another go this week coming, but i probably should get the new Ubuntu.

| Same kind of problem here. Although Nvidia supposedly offer drivers for Linux(Ubuntu) I couldn't do the whole configuring "X" thing so I stuck to 1024*768 (Maybe 800*600 can't remember). Anyway, that and my wireless card doesn't have a Ubuntu driver is why I'm not using Ubuntu full-time. |

| David Unless your laptop is brand new (as in only bought last week) I'd be very surprised if there weren't drivers available for it at this stage Michele - who is still trying to fix his Nvidia problems
