Dear surfprjab, I would try the ubuntu forums insted of a bug report for
that kind of questions. Nevertheless I am going to try answering but
please, notice that i am not a computer wizard either.

After my computer had crashed badly I had tried to switch to linux lots
of times with no luck. Usually, something hardware related was not
working for me. I followed lots of tutorials to make that hardware work
via software. I was doing it wrong. One day I tried the other way around
changing hardware that is not working right with my software. And like
magic Everything started working with near to none frustration. I buy
hardware and if it doesnt work flawlessly, I return it.

Some times the hardware manufactures are not linux friendly, and the
linux community have to reverse engineering the drivers, which is not
easy. I rather buy linux-friendly hardware.

I know this may not help you, but I dont know about your particual case
with your laptop. This is what I do and I have with ubuntu since 8.04.

There are other distros, maybe one run flawlessly with your laptop. Try
asking in the ubuntu forums or give it google a try ;)

Good luck
