If you have any pointers on getting any sort of multimedia to work with a savrow blade 75 i'd appreciate them. getting ubuntu installed was generally ok, installed via dvd and updated over the net. but it all falls apart with the multimedia. Ive managed to get mp3 working and thats about it. Using either gnome or kde - all i get is codec errors despite installing a set of windows codecs (following instructions). ive even installed the divx codec seperately with no luck. finally - the integrated tv tuner (lifeview) simply cannot be seen - i've tried using tvtime and mythtv with no luck. so far i've got little more than a fileserver - so any help would be welcome - im on markmorgan10@hotmail.com thanks mark hi.

I have the same laptop, without yours littles hardware update. With Hardy It's works fine. I want only to point that actually I use Desktop Effects and they works great! If you want to use it you must use the open source ATI radeon driver. You can find a wiki at this page: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ATI%20with%20AIGLX bye bye valde91 HI!
