Facts on Thinkpad W510 and Ubuntu 10.10

I got FHD no touch screen, no color calibration. It has 500G hard disk, 8 G ram, finger printer, camera, i7 720 CPU.

The high resolution would never be a problem, coz you can change the DPI. Now win 7 works well with zoom in. In Ubuntu, zoom in firefox can be set up by Noquints plugin.

Pros:
Very bright screen.
Windows blur in compiz.
More RAM of course. It's the reason I bought it.
Camera, audio, microphone work.

Cons:
You can't have both Xinerama and compiz.
Ubuntu can't boot with USB hard disk in USB 3.0 Port.
Multi touchpad not fully work. No zoom in/out. Two fingers scroll works some times with gpoint settings.
Finger printer not set up yet.

Stupid NVIDIA


I am depressed by the fact nvidia can not work with both ximerama and compiz. My poor T60 can work so well with them.

I have to settle down with No compiz or No ximerama. How frustrated!

One good thing is the window blur finally works on this new W510.
