Brian, you are amazing!

I've been through some early and difficult linux installs, many flavors, a few savers.

Ubuntu has really been getting the hardware.

This is the deal changer for me and the growing amount of people I convince to leave ms while they clutch at it with insecurity.

This first piece of hardware that's not recognized is either the deal breaker or the many hour challenge for the tech.

Your power percentage is a sweet swirl of frosting on the cake. They will eat cake too ;-)

I added your repository to the sources in synaptic, reloaded, then marked install for the generic kernal header and update for the (replacement) gnome-power-manager from you and whalla!
