I have Dell Xps 15 with config:-
8 Gb RAM
2nd generation i7 processor 2.2 GHz Boost 2.0 upto 3.30 GHz
Dual Graphics Card Intel HD 3000 & nvidia geforce GT 540M with Optimus Techonology
720 GB hardisk
Motherboard Dell XPS system L502X
Intel centrino 6230 Network Card with BT 3.0
I have installed 2
linux distro on my External USB portable seagate 500 GB hardisk fedora
15 & Ubuntu 11.04. i have installed these distro by using HP
pavilion dv 2762 tx with config:-
Core2duo 1.83Ghz
2Gb ram
nvidia geforce 9600m graphics card
Both
these distro works with all other older laptops Like HP, Dell studio 1
yr old config , Compaq 5 yr old, but not on my Dell XPS 15.
To check
my laptops hardware compatibility i used a Ubuntu 10.10 live Cd. it
works fine . i use this cd as a live media but when i tried same Ubuntu
10.10 on live usb it gives blank screen or error which i mentioned
below.
To check that my iso file damaged or my download has been corrupted or
not, i tried different distros with different desktop enviornment like
Gnome,KDE,Xcfe & Lxde. i tried fedora 15, ubuntu 10.10, ubuntu
10.04, ubuntu 11.04. slackware,eduboss each with avail flavors.
But all i have tried gives almost same error with each distro. i don't
know what is this some kind of bug or lack of support with dell chipset
(hardware). if live cd boots well then i think there is nohardware
compatibility issue with linux. I think this is lack of usb support
because may be Linux has no support until now for latest motherboards or
hardware architects.
These are the errors i got with different distros. i am not able to
figure out what's going on bcz i'm rookie in Linux programming. But if
anyone can do it, plz help me i haven't run my linux from previous 1 and
half month and i'm a linux addicted.
starting from Fedora 15 gnome(almost same for kde except starting numbers)
