I am planning on getting the mbp with hybrid graphics. I wish to triple boot osx, ubuntu 9.04 64 bit, and vista business 32 bit( or maybe 64bit)
I read that the 9400m is unusable in windows, and the 9600m gt is the only option. I was wondering if I could use just the 9400m in 9.04 to get better battery life, as I do not need powerful graphics in ubuntu.
i know theres a clear difference, but does the 9400 clearly blow the x3100 out the water? also; i heard the white macbook was being discontinued. why do the new whitebooks not have a 2.4 processor. How much difference is 2.0/2.1ghz vs a 2.4? Why isn't there a 2.4 + 9400m option? is it a heating issue?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a way of disabling the 9600m gt and using only the 9400m? I mean i want to use the 9400m in windows bootcamp. I know in windows laptops with 2gpu's, users can disable one gpu through the bios. But is that possible on the mac?
View 10 Replies View Relatedthe 17 macbook pro would have poor batterylife due to drivers and the forced use of the dedicated gpu. now I got an idea: how about the 15 with intergrated graphics? I've heard that the 15 on dedicated graphics can hit 3-4hours(in windows) which isn't quite enough but VERY close.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI know that the modded INFs from laptopvideo2go have supported this, but the latest beta drivers released today from nVidia actually support the 9400M out of the box.
These drivers support the screen brightness controls (I had probs with this using the modded drivers) AND more importantly I can now use an external monitor and resume from sleep mode. The Apple drivers would not resume after the video card turned the external monitor off.
direction of a good guide that will allow for triple booting.
Yes I use Ubuntu in VM ware but would like to try it natively on a MBP.
Im having problems trying to find a decent guide on how to do this,(Most of them are outdated and what not) but I want to have the ability to use Ubuntu and OSX.
I currently have Ubuntu in Virtual Box, but I would like for my whole system to be able to switch from OSX and Ubuntu and boot or w/e.
Also, I have Ubuntu saved on my external HD iso file. So will I need to actually burn it to disk?
I also read that you can use bootcamp to do this.
So whats the easiest way to do this without having to reinstall osx(if I really dont have to)

Studio XPS 13: 9400M?
Studio XPS 16: 9400M and 9600M GT (like the new MBP)?
In the studio xps 13 series, 2 kinds of graphic cards are listed:
1. Nvidia GeForce 9400 M G
2. Nvidia GeForce 9500 M G
I tried playing a dvd for the first time (in PowerDVD and Media Player). It's extremely blocky and generally looks like crap. When using it in Hybrid SLI though, the video looks fine. The integrated card should be more than capable of upconverting a DVD so that it doesn't look so horrible. Notice the lip of the counter and see how much blockier it looks in the first picture than the second.

Since I don't have a clue how to tweak my 9400m to the fullest of its ability's I thought I make a thread so we can discuss the latest drivers, flash beta 10, best settings for optimal performance ... etc

I would like to try ununtu on my xps m1530. I started ununtu from cd without installation, but i couldn't enjoy it, because after starting the mouse pad goes insane.
How to fix that.
Or ca someone provide me a link to this topic. And there are drivers for video, fi-wi, card reader....for ununtu?
I am not familiar with linux, but it seems interesting this ubuntu
So I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on my M1530 and have a dual boot setup with the other OS being the NSA's Windows 7 64bit.
This is my first Linux experience and I am rightfully enjoying it. Thus far I have been able to figure things out OK, but I am a total Linux newbie and dont know of a way to undervolt.
I havent figured out if its possible to run RMClock and I dont know of a Linux alternative.
Most the stuff I find on google is years old and Im thinking there have been better solutions since then .....

View 4 Replies View Related I bought a brand new HP 470 (i5-3230M, 8 GB, 750 GB, AMD 8750M 2 GB) with Linux SUSE operating system. I erased everything and installed Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit (that time still Alpha release). I soon noticed the random freezes (=screen remained as it is, no mouse, nothing) that needed a hard power off (5-sec power button). I thought it was an Alpha issue but nothing improved through continuous updates. Now, Ubuntu 14.04 is LTS and officially released for over a month and I still experience these freezes. They occur always; can be 5 min or 2 hours after boot.

I suspect the ATI's graphic card. I've installed the beta version of the latest drivers (from end of April). They officially support Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS and 13.10 but there were people on the forum claiming it installs also on the 14.04. I risked and succeeded. But... freezes are still there.

I'm OK to use Ubuntu down to version 10.04 (if that solves the problem). It maye be related to kernel version.I don't want to use any Windows version. I'd rather sell the notebook if Windows is a solution.
Everytime we connect for a webcam chat, it breaks up and disconnects. Is it because of our internet or is it an issue with the operating system, etc? .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wonder if anyone has tried the latest version of Ubuntu or Kubuntu on XPS1730. This laptop works very cool on Windows XP (Core2Extreme, 8700SLI, 4GB RAM).
It is just hard to find what might be the reason/solution .....
I'm looking at ordering a Mini 9 but am disappointed to see that I can't get the fully loaded model (2gb RAM, 64gb drive) with XP.
If I were to order the Ubuntu model with all the bells and whistles (including Bluetooth and 1.3 webcam),
how hard would it be to install XP on it? I've heard that the webcam on the Linux version is not the same as on the XP version so I'm wondering if there'd be a problem with drivers, etc
I cant find it on the dell website, I would love to set up a dual boot set up.
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 9.10 is perfect and to be true it too just works out of the box , given the fact that it has to support infinite pc configurations it is great !!!
Hail 9.10 .. and if you wont try you will surely miss something great. Where else do you have a resume and sleep time of 2-4 seconds. bootup time of less than 15 seconds ..
It doesnt have a lot more to take to catch up .. i am certain that in a year or so you will see emergence of linux everywhere .. Just that volume is what promotes things,
if a lot of people start using linux, a lot of hardware manufacturers will be forced to give better drivers and support.
im a m1730 user interested in installing Ubuntu on my machine. Ive gone through various Windows OS setups, dual boot and what not, and would like to try Ubuntu.
I downloaded the Live Cd, Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, and when i boot from it, no matter which option i try (Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu, Check Cd, etc), i get a BusyBox command prompt which loops some I/o error. No graphical user interface for installing comes up
For curiosity I just want to know, If we have dual boot install of WinXP SP and Ubuntu after complete removal of WinVista, does the machine found all drivers and the machine runs smoothly ?
