Miscellaneous
March, 2007:
Using packages outside the Ubuntu repository, it's possible to both get wireless network and beryl (requires the non-free nvidia driver) working with Edgy 6.10 on this laptop, but unfortunately not at the same time! This problem is discussed in thread [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=334373 334373] in the Ubuntu forum and in bug # [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/57355 57355].
Wireless networking
Following the how-to on [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=dv9074ea WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom BCM4311 rev 01 (ndiswrapper)] and installing ndiswrapper and network-manager and adding WPA-support, it's possible to network very smoothly in Edgy 6.10.
Beryl
Following the how-to [http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia Install Beryl on Ubuntu Edgy with nVidia] made Beryl (N.B. still in development) work fine on this labtop, until ndiswrapper was installed...
