    Hey,
    thanks a lot that solves my problem! :)

    Yeah the Laptop runs very good with Ubuntu, all hardware is detected at
    installing time so you don't have to configure much by your own.
    The only thing you have to do is updating the Synaptics Touchpad driver
    because the version ships with Ubuntu is much to sensitive.
    For now, only the WinModem does not work but I don't really need it and I
    don't like the binary crap driver, so it is ok for me without a modem.
    Good combination NX-6110 running Ubuntu.

    best regards, Marius.
