Laptop Wireless LAN driver confusion?

I own recently tested Kubuntu on my laptop as I will be switching from Windows to Kubuntu any time soon. I used the live disc to test out the OS so I could see if any of the drivers needed sorting out.



The lone driver that had any problems be the driver for the wireless LAN adapter, so a Kubuntu restricted driver was used. The actual wireless LAN works fine and I could connect to the router.



The with the sole purpose thing that doesn't work is the button to disengage the wireless LAN. My quiz is: does the driver for the wireless LAN in a laptop also control the activation button on the front?


Answer:

does your laptop hold aset of keys for launching email,your browser?

if yes you may entail a launch manager driver or app for your form of laptop.
bloody good Q my erudite gues would be yes

Laptop video card which one?

Integrated Intel(R) GMA X3100 Graphics (with up to 384MB Shared Memory) or



ATI MobilityTM Radeon(R) X2300 HD 256MB PCI Express Graphics (128MB GDDR3 Dedicated Memory beside up to 256MB using HyperMemoryTM Technology)



only option for this tablet i am getting so which one is better the integrated (first one) is $100 cheaper



is the ati worth $100 more?


Answer:

yes its worth it if u want decent graphics power for games and things ... it will also proly be harder on mobile so it depends on what ur going to be doing really ...
Get the PCI express one. The integrated/shared memory video cards are crap!!
well near a laptop you can change out the video card exact laptop do not have expansion ports for hardware approaching that . so you have to stay near what comes in the laptop
One earth-shattering thing to details with the integrated graphics card is that it is tabled as shared memory. This means that it will be using your computers RAM to process video, which your computer can't use for other things.
While the ATI is not the best you can acquire (and the $100 margin is more than you in general see) if u're going to play games (pretty much anything recent) you have no other leeway. If you primarily use it for day to daylight tasks like browsing, watching DVDs, and conceivably light gaming bring the integrated graphic.
Yes the faithful card is much better. You can only play most games at a low even with a shared memory. This is strictly from the perspective of games.

Laptop using 98se?

stuck surrounded by 2 or 16 colours does anyone know why?


Answer:

You're either:

-Booting into safemode

-You hold a Corrupt Video Driver (In which case you would entail to reinstall the drivers, Put the 98SE disc into your computer to reinstall the drivers.)
Your video driver is not loaded. Try to install the video software
Need a bit more info, but if you go onto the desktop, right click and step to properties, then it will let somebody know you what your options are.
Check your video settings by right clicking on your desktop and click on properties. Then click on the 'settings' tab and adjust your color settings. If your settings cannot be set sophisticated I would sugest checking your video card manufacter and update your video driver from your website. Or you may need to upgrade your video hardware (for a better graphics card). Keep your video drivers updated.
you entail the drivers for the video card. you can try going to the manufacturer of the computers website and see if the drivers are available for you to d/l for free. if it's running win 98se though it might be better to replace it motivation other than e-mail and network research it's not capable much. better to carry a newer laptop capable of running win xp.


Laptop users..?

i play a audition and to press some of the arrows i have need of to use the numpad but i have a laptop so i dont' really enjoy one..i DO have a knob that says scroll and at the bottom of the word ((but on like peas in a pod button)) it says num lk surrounded by a rectangle. i keep pressing it but the street light above the key won't pale up.

does anyone know how to activate the numpad?



ty exceptionally much!


Answer:

Depending on the manufacturer, the answer may vary. If Num Lk is in a different color than the note keys, you probably own to press and hold the key stained Fn (or something similar, usually near the bottom vanished of the keyboard) while you press the key distinct Num Lk.

On IBM and some Lenovo notebooks, Num Lk is toggled on and past its sell-by date by holding Shift while pressing the Num Lk key.

If that doesn't work, try some combinations of CTRL and Num Lk or Alt and Num Lk.
click FN + F12
press fn + num lc



fn is usually subsequent to cntrl


Laptop upgrade request for information?

Is it possible to upgrade from an Intel Celeron processor to an AMD Athlon 64 (X2 or not, I dont care) on a Compaq Presario 2500?


Answer:

Um, NO!!

You can't coppers cpu types (intel to AMD or AMD to intel) - even on desktop systems (atleast not on currently designed systems).



You may be able to upgrade to any a slightly faster celeron, or a standard Intel cpu (same pin packages only).



Some boards will support different voltage cpus as well, but if you exchange to another voltage cpu, you can have overheating issues. Not other, but has be known to take place.



What I would do is pull the model/part number of the laptop, research other sub-models (model variation of the same nonspecific model) and the cpu options they come with.



You may find a 25XX model that have a faster cpu.



A hint... find a catalogue of models similar to yours, download the most current bios's for each model and compare the bios programs. The ones that are compatible use identical motherboards. ;)



BTW: You would benefit from upgrading the bios to the most current release to amend your chances of the motherboard properly ID'ing any tentative CPU.



If you can replace the celeron with a standard Intel CPU of like peas in a pod speed, you will see an improvement. I would do that as a minimum.



Best of nouns.
I don't think you can upgrade laptops, it won't be trouble-free or cheap anyway!
No, the pins won't match.



The Intel Celeron have 775 pins and the AMD 64 has 939, if memory serves.



AND, it may not be possible to upgrade the CPU surrounded by your laptop, even if you used a compatible Intel CPU.
