There is a version with working 855 graphics...it's called Windows XP.
I have used Ubuntu for the last 5 years and have had my laptop break in
some manner on nearly every upgrade (usually Broadcom networking), but
this issue is the final straw.  Microsoft may be the great "evil", but
they would never release a product that would break so many machines and
remain so silent for so long.  I have subscribed to every thread, read
every comment, tried all the kernel updates, driver regressions,
formatted and reinstalled clean and my D400 is still nearly useless for
most common tasks, requiring me to boot to XP on a daily basis for
anything more complicated than gmail.  I am planning my HTPC and was
researching MythTV for many weeks, but this issue has convinced me that
Windows Media Center is the way to go for professional, reliable
operation and trustworthy updates.  LInux is for uber geeks only, and
they are a vanishing breed in this decaying culture.
