Review: New Linux Laptop from ERACC

“The bad. I am aware that the Linux driver for the Intel HD 3000
video chipset is very new. The Mandriva 2010.2 release does not
include this driver and rebuilding the kernel and video system to
include this driver was not something the end-user wanted us to do
even if there had been time to do it. He stated he does not need 3D
video. So, the video is running in VESA mode. The VESA mode works
good enough to use the laptop. I did post a request for a back-port
to the Mandriva Bugzilla site. But was told that was unlikely to
happen in the Mandriva 2010.2 release. Which is not surprising
considering that the Mandriva 2011 release is imminent.”
