I just picked up a new HUGE laptop:
Dell XPS m2010 Laptop
specs
I decided to install Ubuntu 14.04 because my family will be using it.
Everything installed fine as expected, but a few items are not working so far
But this only works until the system is restarted, then I have to run the code again.
How can I make this code run at startup in Ubuntu?
I have downloaded AMD's legacy drivers for this card, but hesitate to install them.
I found this tutorial: http://www.ubuntulinuxguide.com/install-ubuntu-ati-drivers-fglrx/
But I have a history of screwing things up with video drivers in Linux. Specifically Fedora.
The keyboard still doesn't work as its bluetooth. I checked the bluetooth in Settings and it shows nothing available. I can't find anything online about it either.
The keyboard is awesome! Very sturdy, full number pad and has its own proprietary battery that charges from the computer. So no AA's to purchase.
I've never messed with Bluetooth in Linux or even Windows.
