There is a version with working 855 graphics...it's called Windows XP. I have used Ubuntu for the last 5 years and have had my laptop break in some manner on nearly every upgrade (usually Broadcom networking), but this issue is the final straw. Microsoft may be the great "evil", but they would never release a product that would break so many machines and remain so silent for so long. I have subscribed to every thread, read every comment, tried all the kernel updates, driver regressions, formatted and reinstalled clean and my D400 is still nearly useless for most common tasks, requiring me to boot to XP on a daily basis for anything more complicated than gmail. I am planning my HTPC and was researching MythTV for many weeks, but this issue has convinced me that Windows Media Center is the way to go for professional, reliable operation and trustworthy updates. LInux is for uber geeks only, and they are a vanishing breed in this decaying culture.
