Hey Robert,
Sorry for the late reply. I guess Vick, or someone else on the mailing list
will be of more help to you because I have an older model Z series without
the docking station and all so I have no experience with that. But don't
give up, its really worthwhile once you get everything up and running. The
script only works for ubuntu 11.10 and under. I see alot of people using
bumble bee for the graphics card now. Anyways good luck. Let us know if you
figure it out.
