Just one week after writing about my efforts to get Feisty running on my Toshiba laptop, the new version of Ubuntu 7.
For a start off, the Gutsy live CD doesn't work in full graphics mode with this laptop. Instead, boot from the CD in safe graphics mode and then install as normal. After installation, the laptop will work just fine at x resolution. This is because it will be using the supplied open source 'nv' driver to power the Nvidia hardware.
While this is all well and good for 2D operation, you won't get any 3D shenanigans out of the nv module which means your fancy 32MB graphics card with it's whizzo 3D capabilities is reduced to doing what a 2MB card could have done.
You'll soon notice the problem - no GL screensavers, no 3D games and even screen updates in programs like OpenOffice can look broken up try selecting pages of text in the Spreadsheet application and you'll see your screen flickering like a strobe light!

Now restart the computer so the Nvidia restricted driver takes effect. When it comes back to the graphical login screen however, you'll probably find it isn't working. In my case I got a 'trippy' white and black fading screen. This is because the driver thinks it detects a CRT screen on the VGA port and tries to use that in preference to the laptop screen.
