Comment 259 for bug 752542

same sad story as most here,
company bought me a dell precision M4600.
16GB Memory, Total of 8 processors activated (35120.04 BogoMIPS)
Fixed the non-found eth0 & wlan0 by upgrading the kernel using an older USB WLAN stick I had lying around.
Tried several ubuntu/kubuntu/debian-testing versions to no avail.
They all crapped out on the Video stuff. 10.04 worked off the LiveCD but degraded at first boot.
Runs at the moment with no nvidia drivers, but no external monitor either, so I have a nice 24" black light-sink sitting on my desk for my windows-using colleagues to laugh at. If I ever find the guy that engineered this stuff at nvidia I'd offer to give it back. In fact I'd even ask *how* he'd like it inserted, longways or sideways.
Keep up the good work.
