@Gianluca: You can grab the latest bios version from http://is.gd/XqTq1B, but unfortunately I did this in one of my friend's PC, and he still had a Win partition, then I used that not to spend too time to figure out another solution.
Although this laptop has a WinPhlash bios, then I think you can also use safely a FreeDOS disk (or usb dongle) with the phlash16.exe utility and the bios file (the ZD13813.wph, probalby renamed as BIOS.wph). Looking around I've seen that there are multiple ways to obtain the phlash16.exe utility, check this one mentioned on the Ubuntu wiki: - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS#Obtaining_and_using_an_image_from_the_WinPhlash_utility -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310406 Title: [regression] Trusty kernel doesn't recognize GeForce 8600m GT nor with nouveau or nvidia drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1310406/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
