yeah i totally see that now :( , like i said im brand new to all of
this. i didnt know what all to check, i still did my homework as much as
i could but i didnt think of looking into whether or not intel
outsourced the gpu on that series. I have read somewhere a week or two
ago that the particular gpu: PowerVR or something like that, dosent
support the unity or gnome3 at all, so to get it to work you have to
dumb your system down and to me that just defeated the purpose. i am
curious about one thing though. Will any other distro's work for this
gpu? maybe something that uses gnome2 or i dunno...something else?
