Hi Aashish, It was actually Linux "drivers" I was talking about. My G6092 came with Vista and there are no XP drivers (easily) available either, but other than the wireless, I found it works flawlessly under Linux, and even the wireless works (now). You said you tried Linux but i could not find drivers for it - what component were you specifically having difficulty with under Linux? Wifi/webcam/graphics/sound/other?
