??? Doesn't support the hardware??? OK -- I thought that the goal with Linux was to be able to be installed on pretty much all computers. Why wouldn't we support a computer that's only 3 - 4 years old?
Yes, the manufacturer is misreporting the screen size. But, since this is so common for certain Intel processors, instead of turning a blind eye, we should be finding solutions that work for people that want to try Linux. This computer is still relatively recent, and worthy of support -- even with the latest release of the *buntu's. I'm sold on Linux. And I'll keep using Linux. And for the time being, I'm satisified with the *buntu variants. But I could see that such a response could quickly turn a newbie cold on the whole Linux experience. I was able to poke around and find the workaround for my system. But, there shouldn't need to be a workaround. *buntu needs to "just work", out of the box. -- Need display size quirk for Intel 950 GMA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417675 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
