#ubuntu
<ubotu> techie1 make sure all your hardware has linux drivers: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
<IdleOne> techie1, being this is #ubuntu I would say Ubuntu is the preffered OS
<techie1> <IdleOne>good avice, thanks.
<bright_fame> techie1: if you don't want to figure out all the compatibility issues yourself take a look at system76.com
<techie1> <Frogzoo>how do I check that?
<bright_fame> (they preinstall ubuntu)
<NoEvidenZ> techie1: Build one and install Ubuntu on it. I'd advise against getting any preloaded OS. You end up with too much crap from the company that put it together.
<techie1> ah, thanks ubotu
<Frogzoo> techie1: also go for an nvidia video card, ati support is a bit patchy
<vignesh> anyone ?
<janga> vignesh, yes
<wolfeySI> Frogzoo: that's nasty rumour
<wolfeySI> ati works great
<bauer77> yes I would advise a nvidia card too
<bauer77> ati is a pain in the you know what
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> Frogzoo: yeah.... Im wrestling with my ati-drivers as we speak...
<vignesh> janga: so I can`t use XGL without a graphics card ?
<bauer77> as I have been UbuntuN00B_HBG
<bright_fame> vignesh: i have beryl running on intel graphics :\ not sure if same as yours though
<wolfeySI> bauer77: i have good experience with recent ati drivers, thank you
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> Frogzoo: worked fine until I started fiddling with it... :P
<techie1> <NoEvidenZ>it all makes sense
<vignesh> bright_fame: Mine is an Intel 945
<janga> vignesh, intel IS an onboard graphics card
<bauer77> what are you running for a card wolfey?
<wolfeySI> 9600xt
<Phocean_> why don't you use beryl ?
<no_gatez_fan> ati x800 here no problems
<bauer77> everytime I come in here someone is having problems with their ATI, rarelly see nvidia issues
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> no_gatez_fan: did you install the drivers from ati.amd.com?
<vignesh> janga: sorry mine is a 946GZ
<Frogzoo> no_gatez_fan: frame rates under ati+wine are the suxors
<no_gatez_fan> yes
<bright_fame> vignesh: will look mine up for you...
<Phocean_> beryl rox with my i915gm graphics
<bauer77> I am using a Radeon Mobility 9700 and have been struggling with it from the get go
<techie1> I have also seen ubuntu program (downloable and around 600 mb or so) and other places I see a disk for 3.5 G (probably with lots of crap). Basically the main disk which I am using now (a live CD) is about 698 MG. Is that the normal one?
<wolfeySI> bauer77: trick is to set xorg.conf right
<techie1> or is that all I need
<vignesh> bright_fame: mine is a Intel 946GZ
<bauer77> well if your offering to help..lol
<wolfeySI> for example UseFastTLS works best with 1 .. 0 and 2 aint good
<bauer77> unfortunately I am still a noob to the linux world
<no_gatez_fan> i did a text install then loaded it from there
<wolfeySI> and 'export pseudocolor visuals' must be off, or no xv for you
<no_gatez_fan> i dont know if i had to but that is the way i been doing it
<bauer77> I installed the ATI drivers from the ati website but it keeps showing up with the mesa drivers
<bauer77> in xorg.conf
<NoEvidenZ> Can anyone tell me about the Integrated VIA DeltaChrome GPU? Is it like.. Decent, or is it just a fancy name?
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> anyone here who can help me with my linux-restricted-modules package? I cant remove it... apt-get just stops...
