Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:11 pm Im thinking of getting a ACER D255 for my Birthday, and I want to make sure the Intel GPU will work, my friend had so much trouble getting it to work on his, so I want to make sure it will work fine for me. This laptop has a GMA 3150 in it. Thanks

You may need to use 10.10 instead of 10.04, or possibly even an Alpha distribution. Your mileage may vary though. KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]

Yes, Maverick has 2.12 intel drivers, Natty has 2.14, but of course that does not specify how well they work, unfortunately. claydoh, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct, and KDE user since 2001
