AT last I got Visual Effect on my Toshiba M100

Well, I waste too much time then I needed. What I want to do is to enable Visual Effect for my new Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. The story went like this.

I was crazy try to update my ati driver manually because I believe that the instruction is clear and the version from the AMD website is more recent. However I took me a sleepless night to trail with that, in the end I decided to just use the version that Restricted Manager give me after my first boot up.

So this is how I survive:
1. Enable ATI Restricted Driver
2. > sudo apt-get intall xserver-xgl
3. Reboot my machine

I got visual effect hahaha easier than I thought and hear this "The visual effect is cool, it is even better than effect in Windows(R) Vista" and you know what? you do not need to buy new computer to try Unbuntu ;)

Alright, now I am ready to roll ;)

Ubuntu 7.04 Round #2

Okay, one I submit a request for CD from Ubuntu I received it.
One I start install on my computer I found that I doesn't support my VGA the solution is to download an alternate version. Fine!

I did download Ubuntu-7.04-alternate.iso

1. burn it to a DVD
2. run media check - all passed

Now it time for me to perform a real installation, I know that my intel wireless card might not function during installation so I attach network cable in and then ready to kick start:

1. Boot from Ubuntu DVD
2. Start Text Mode Installation
3. Answe all the easy quetions
4. Do manual partition (I already allocated space for linux already) -> select unallocated space -> let partition tool do it works -> done
5. Now installation seem to go well
   
6. until 85% Installed brltty-x11 it just stuck there ....

I have no choice but to reboot my computer, after set active partition back to drive C:\ I start to search for the issue:

Some Suggestion:

1. A guy report in ubuntu forum that he had a similiar problem he wait for ~2 hr 30 mn then installation start to wake up and resume.
2. The other guy said well need to burn ubuntu-7.04 using slower speed.

Anyway I need to do some work let save these trick for another day ... until then I'll let you know.
