hi lugs,

        Has any one got a mininote 2133 with the Via c7-m 1.2Ghz (hmmm) processor in 
and if so what o/s are you running ? have just tried ubuntu-9.10 netbook remix and 
although pretty it seems a bit on the slow side (via).the wireless 
drivers,,broadcom-wl for other o/s are a bit dodgy also (pclinuxos kernel is not 
late enough to run them, 2.6.27.31).

thanks,,

bas.

Just an update... I have installed ubuntu 10.04 UNE on the 2133 and up to now the only thing that doesn't work is the microphone - internal or external!

Audio works
Lan/ethernet works
Wifi works - requires broadcom drivers downloading
video works - some wierdness on shutdown but works fine - all supported resolutions seem to OK I have a t-mobile e120 stick attached - it was recognised - ran through the wizard and it works fine - better than XP!

I've never been a fan of ubuntu but I'm liking this version - I'm hoping to make it to Holsworthy on Saturday so I may bring it along.

Dave
