Hi, anyone tried Fedora Core 4 on HP ze2113us laptops ?
I bought one from CircuitCity 2 weeks ago for 900 dollars with a 200
dollar rebate. Great laptop, but poor support on Linux.
It's all ATI inside. I tried Ubuntu at first, it was able to use the
framebuffer and detected the sound card, but the sound was really
crappy.
There is something seriouly wrong with Ubuntu and the IDE controller on
this laptop, read/write access is really slow.
The videocard is a ATI xpress 200, and I was unable to make it work, so
I
switched to FC4.
IDE started working pretty good, it's fast now, but the soundcard is
always muted (even though it was detected) and I was unable to make the
video card work with ATI's drivers.
Any one has any luck with that ?
Thanks.
