Hello everyone, I've been using debian a couple of years (still a newbie for most of you hackers, though), but never installed it in laptop. Soon I'm buying a new laptop and want to make sure it works smoothly with debian.
I assume the biggest problem is the screen controller. I tried to take a look at debian's and X.org's documentation, but didn't find a clear answer which screen controllers work cleanly with debian (and X.org) and which not. In the past: * ATI's drivers were a big problem (is that still the case?) * Nvidia drivers worked (at least after installing closed source drivers manually) (is that still the case?) * I've heard that Intel GMA should just work (is that the case?) Are there any other possible critical hardware incompatibilities (fx. with sound system, dvd-drives, ethernet cards etc.) I should know about Any advice is welcome, Thanks, Joona Kiiski -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
