The 915resolution hack was not needed for my Intel graphics card, but I needed to have more information for my laptop’s LCD. There was a problem though and X11 would crash on load - and the graphical safe mode would not work either (confirmed bug). I spent 2 hours with Vista, I decided that I didn’t like much of its usability, and I immediately burned an Ubuntu preview ISO and installed it on my shiny new DELL Inspiron 640m. I received my brand new laptop this past Monday with Vista Home Basic in it. I was up and running with all the niceties I wanted within 2 hours. With Ubuntu Feisty Fawn’s latest test beta –for the first time ever– this was not the case. Each one of my previous encounters meant that I had to spend at least 2 days configuring before I have a desktop that I was somewhat comfortable with. During my 8 years of Linux on and off usage I have tried more distros than I have chocolate bars.
