Feisty MacBook
I installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn dual boot on my MacBook last week. It worked pretty well — Wifi, audio & native 1280×800 worked right out of the box, and it was very easy to add external support for Touchpad features. Not a bad start.
The one trouble spot was when I wanted to go to an external monitor at 1680×1050 — no dice…. I’m not sure there’s support for 1680×1050 with the i810 device. I can get 1280×1024, but that’s not good enough to get me away from OS X for long.
Overall, I like where Feisty is. And I can do 1280×800, so without the external monitor, I can boot into Ubuntu and should be just fine. But to take over my desktop, I really need to get to big LCD resolutions.
So if anyone has any hints on 1680×1050 with Fiesty Fawn on a MacBook, let me know!
