hi all
i wondering that anybody had encounter any problems with ubuntu 10.10 on xps 16?
like wireless module not working
because my unit came with broadcom wireless card and i saw some of them need to be unlock before we can use it
anybody can help me on this?
the ubuntu iso i still downloading, after that i will run live to check it

thanks

i see
nvm
tuesday i try run the live CD on it
hope it will works well

mine is about 2 hours 40 minutes in "dell" mode
3 hours in power saver
1 hour ++ in high performance ( from boot to desktop loaded left about 80-85%)

now using ubuntu and i found that i can have longer battery life with it
in normal condition can last for 3 hours +
power saver can reach 3.5 hours ++

hello people
recent my laptop got one problem
which is when i hibernate my 1647, my battery will be empty during the next time when i want to boot up the laptop
for example i hibernate it on today morning and the battery was empty when i boot the laptop on tomorrow morning

and it happened a few times already
plus my time in the windows will delay one day
eg: today is 10th april, the windows shown 9th april

is it normal? or is my laptop having problem?

thank you

yes it works
after i hibernate, take out battery
then put it back
turn on the laptop
it shows resuming windows
which means hibernate is done properly i guess?

i hope it's the windows problem

under windows
Dell mode can use around 2.5 hours
extended battery life plan can push to 3 hours+

under ubuntu 10.10
approx. 3 hours

yours?
