+ | ===== Notes ===== | ||
+ | ==== ACPI ==== | ||
+ | This laptop freezes when switching to battery mode or booting the system with just the battery. As somewhat of a fix you need to use the **nolapic** boot option, this will allow you to use the battery but will also disable one of the cores on the processor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As root, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file with your favourite text editor and append **nolapic** to the end of your kernel line. It should look something like this: | ||
+ | <code>title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic | ||
+ | uuid d6152ffd-edd6-4946-a5bb-cb7ecfb9699a | ||
+ | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash nolapic | ||
+ | initrd /initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic | ||
+ | quiet | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | ==== Graphics ==== | ||
+ | For best results you should install the proprietary ATI drivers. See the guides section on this site for installation instructions. | ||
+ | ===== Summary ===== | ||
+ | The Asus F5V does not work well at all with Linux and should be avoided. | ||
