Ubuntu Installation HP2133


By feekes - Posted on 22 May 2008

Just a quick note, if you want to install Ubuntu on your mini note, modify the kernel boot option to end in
ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe xforcevesa
then install as normal.

If you would like to have 3d and compiz working, download the via drivers here
http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action

Run "sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz"
Change
WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx"
To
WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810 via"

Then just replace your xorg.conf with

Ubuntu on Mini, so much better than SLED.
