And now the orange stick won't connect and the daemon.log includes the dreaded "ttyhS2 ignoring due to lack of broadband capabilities" Arrggh ! Just thought people might like to know I abandoned all hope of getting the web book working with network manager and option 225 orange stick under arch linux a while ago – it developed a nasty “ignoring due to lack of broadband capabilities” error and came back to ubuntu where I’ve been using interpid and then jaunty for quite some time, no problems apart from the screen issue which you give the workaround for, until yesterday.

yesterday the update manager seemed to push my webbok from 2.6.28.16-55 to 2.6.28.16-57.

And now the orange stick won’t connect and the daemon.log includes the dreaded “ttyhS2 ignoring due to lack of broadband capabilities”

Arrggh !

I tried the beta and got a hopelessly corrupted display. Whether there was any connection between that and the fact the CPU went the following week and I needed a new motherboard, I don't know. And are any of the various netbook/intel atom remixes (UNR, eeebuntu, easypeasy) safe to use? Just wondering Paul Alan (if you’re still monitoring posts here),

First things first: Great website. Question: I followed the instructions on the Jauntry screen resolution xorg.conf lines, but unfortunately it doesn't work. At best I can work on the 1270x768 option (or whatever the first default one is) but that's it. It pains me cuz the webbook works like a little Terminator under Linux-the signal strength is significantly better than it ws in Windws on my wireless, and it didn't freeze once. But not seeing sections of the screen is uneccaptable. I am not a linux pro, so some retard-level explanation would be nice, A ton of thank yous, Peter Hi! First things first: Great website.
