testing amilo m1450G with dapper

[pierre demanax]

Hi all,

I have been trying the beta version of dapper on a amilo M1450G.

I have tested the live version:

first it didn't boot with the start ubuntu, after a while it hangs, I tried 
several ctr-alt-f but i couldn't get any error message, it was completely 
blocked.

then I tried to boot in safe graphics mode, and it works !!
During the boot process the splash screen of tux appears completely 
destroyed but Gnome starts well. The graphics quality is as good as windows 
:-)

Previously i did an installation of the breezy badger, but it hangs on the 
hotplug detection, I had to blacklist the intel-hda components. I also tried 
the tricks on the forum in order to enable the sound device but i never 
succeeded.

With the last version the sound chip is recognise, but no sound is played 
back ???? any idea ?

memory stick are well recognised and works fine,
wifi also.

I have found in the forum a way to upgrade my install of breezy to dapper 
but as rhere is the video problem at startup does anyone of you know how i 
could solve it? Do i need to reboot with a knoppix in order to be able to 
change an init file ?

I have quite some times those days to test it but as i am a newbie in linux 
i would need some support in order not to be blocked in front of a black 
screen :-)

regards
vincent
