I like using the Notebook hardware control : http://www.pbus-167.com/

Use the radeon driver ( opensource one ).

The fglrx does not support the card anymore, and has problems with this laptop.

Everything on the laptop works on 6.06, 6.10 and on the up coming new version 7.04 of Ubuntu.


For the Graphic card - Ati 9200 - I recommed using the OpenSource Drivers because the official ATI drivers - FGLRX - dont support this card's anymore and it ( the fglrx ) has some problems with this laptop.


This is my xorg.conf (only the important parts)

To activate radeon :

sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri

sudo modprobe radeon

sudo rmmod fglrx

sudo gedit /etc/modules

add to the end of the file : radeon

change your xorg.conf, section device , driver to radeon.

Reboot and thats it


This will work with Beryl or Compiz , using AIGLX ( that is default on the Ubuntu 6.10 and 7.04 )

This is what the PowerStrip gave me:

QuotePowerStrip timing parameters:
1680x1050=1680,32,88,72,1050,1,3,11,121500,272

Generic timing details for 1680x1050:
HFP=32 HSW=88 HBP=72 kHz=65 VFP=1 VSW=3 VBP=11 Hz=61

VESA detailed timing:
PClk=121.50 H.Active=1680 H.Blank=192 H.Offset=16 HSW=88 V.Active=1050 V.Blank=15 V.Offset=1 VSW=3

Linux modeline parameters:
"1680x1050" 121.500 1680 1712 1800 1872 1050 1051 1054 1065 +hsync +vsync

i just used the last line :

Quote"1680x1050" 121.500 1680 1712 1800 1872 1050 1051 1054 1065

and it worked

Good luck
(sorry for my bad english )

im using ubuntu for 1 year now, and dapper  ( 6.06 ) is the best one so far

Hy!
Got it to work!

i looked at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide , and find out that i need to put my modelines manualy in xorg.conf.

The ones in the page didnt work with me, so i went to windows, instaled PowerStrip and i got the modelines for my screen.

hope it helps
