[ubuntu-uk] 12.04 oddities

[Anton Kanishchev]

Have you ever run windows on the netbook/ do you have access to the
manufacturers website with drivers? This might be worth a shot if you can
find some drivers:

Please note i am still learning ways around Linux so you probably know much
more than i do (using ubuntu for 1 month now :) ).
hope this helps
