Just managed to install Ubuntu 6.06 onto my Dell 630m Inspiron laptop.
Had a Windows XP MCE install on the laptop already and managed to get it dual booting with Ubuntu and Grub without a problem.
Was extremely surprised to see that the majority of the laptop hardware was detected and functioning but there are one or 2 problems.
The wireless adapter is an Intel 2200BG. My home wireless network uses WPA2 encryption. It appears that only WEP is supported if I go into the Network settings.
Is WPA2 supported in Ubuntu? If yes, how can I get it working?
The last point is screen resolution. My laptops optimum resolution is 1280x800 yet the maximum I can select is 1024x768.
How can I select a higher resolution? The graphics adapter is an integrated Intel GMA 900 (or similar).
Bit of a Linux noob so I apologise in advance!
Many thanks.
