Hello Matt (and everybody else). I have at last had time to try Edgy on the Dell Latitude D820. I had trouble when installing with the Desktop CD: impossible to get the manual partitioning to work. So I used the Alternate CD and everything seems fine. I have several questions: 1) SMP kernel: To use both cores (Intel Core Duo T2400 (1.83GHz)), should I install something? How could I know they are both working? 2) CPU frequency scaling: Is there something to do? 3) What about the graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M 256 Mo)? Any drivers to install? Thanks in advance.

I installed dapper in july and upgraded to edgy fairly early. But I've since installed edgy from scratch on the old windows partition and there were pretty well no problems. The things that were hard to get working were: -suspend/hibernate. hibernate actually works with the stock kernel, but not perfectly and the in-kernel hibernate code (swsusp) is slow & doesn't tell you it's working. so I instead use a self-compiled 2.6.18 kernel patched with suspend2 2.2.8 (see <a href="http://suspend2.net">suspend2.net</a>). I think I have the .deb package if you're interested. suspend=to=ram works too, but not always. then there are the things that don't seem to be compatible with hibernation: -hardware-accelerated graphics with nvidia. it works fine, but breaks hibernation. -xen-enabled kernel. ditto. -sound -- if esd is running when you suspend, it sometimes doesn't work when you wake up., So I disable "use sound server' somewhere in gnome prefs. -sync with my palm t|x. for that I had to use bluetooth and/or wireless networking. -fonts are too small by default when using the nv x driver. had to fiddle with the dpi resolution in the fonts preference menu in gnome. can't think of any other trouble spots at the moment but if any come up I'll be happy to coach you through them. there were a couple of helpful web pages I found through linux-on-laptops. again, don't have them handy but would be happy to help you find them if you have trouble. if you can get suspension working with the nvidia driver please let me know! for me that's close to the holy grail (suspension, accelerated graphics, and xen is the full definition thereof). good luck and keep us posted! matt On Wed, 2006-01-11 at 22:21 +0100, Guill.
