Re: Best Distro

 

Adam,

I am also on a z1 (VPCZ-1290X) and everything works fine in Fedora 19 here except for these two issues:

No sound coming out of the speakers (although the headphone jack works fine). With BIOS set to static graphics and on stamina (Intel graphics) the suspend to RAM causes a blank screen on resume.

With static switch set to speed (Nvidia graphics) suspend to RAM works fine.

Any tips for getting those two items working?

thanks,
Leo

I work for Red Hat on Fedora and use a Z1 (the 2010 series), so you can
usually expect that either a) it'll be more or less working on the most
recent Fedora or b) I'll be sending beer to kernel devs in an attempt to
make it work. Having said that, I have a reasonably high tolerance for
quirks, and don't use the NVIDIA graphics at all, or external displays
very much.

Ubuntu's always a safe choice too, of course, as there'll always be
several others running that too.
