See [i915-xorg.conf]. This machine doesn't support the 1400x1050 widescreen resolution but it looks fine in 1280x800.

+On this machine, <tt>fn + F4</tt> doesn't change to the SVGA or S/Video output, even though those are configured properly in the xorg.conf file. It seems that the xorg i810 driver needs to be modified for this to work. There is a modified development version of this driver that may work for you - in Ubuntu Edgy, install the *xserver-xorg-video-intel* driver instead (and configure Xorg to use this instead of the default i810 driver). (Apparently the latest Fedora also includes this alternative driver, if you are running that.)
!!Configuring the Touchpad
The touchpad does a 'button1' mouse click when you tap it, which is much too easy to do accidentally while typing.

Anyway, instructions for installing the newer version from source are [here|http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76515].
The new driver will move the mouse much more slowly than the normal PS/2 driver, so make sure you set the other options for scroll speeds.
-If you are using Ubuntu 5.10 ("Breezy") and aren't comfortable with compiling software, and you trust us, you can grab a pre-compiled version (for [x86] computers) from our [software archive|http://www.wlug.org.nz/archive/software/ubuntu/5.10_Breezy/synaptics_drv.o]
-and copy this into the <tt>/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/</tt> directory. (It's probably a good idea to back up the existing file.)
