Hi, Nakuji, Hi Joaquim
I' have bought Dell XPS 17 X702P
The card is GeForce GT 550M.
What I should like to do is to install ubuntu (also 64 bit could be good) and 
having available the laptop screen and also the extern screen using the HDMI 
output.
Do you have any wiki to follow for undestanding how to make my laptop working?

Thnaks
