As I said in my previous post, I installed Ubuntu on my Laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook A3120). Installation was not as straightforward as it had been when I installed the Debian unstable. Here are some notes ....
1. The Ubuntu livecd does not work. Fails to recognize the hard disk. So I was forced to take to the álternate' Ubuntu CD, which is based on the plain old debian installer.
2. The laptop has an unusual CD drive too, so installation from the CD too failed. So I installed using a pendrive. Creating an installer pendrive is very simple. I did that using System->Administration->USB-Startup-Disk-Creator menu entry on another debian/ubuntu machine.
3. As was the case with debian, the latest fglrx drivers do not work on my laptop any longer. So I had to uninstall these drivers to get working graphics.
4. The best guide to swapping caps-lock and ctrl keys is on the emacswiki page. For X11 it is the best to use the System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts->Layout-Options menu.
5. For dinovo edge keyboard to work instantly, modify the file /etc/default/bluetooth
and change the line:
HID2HCI_ENABLED=1
to
HID2HCI_ENABLED=0
But this may actually disable the bluetooth dongles if you are using (in addition to the keyboard specific one).
