[16:38] <dijenerate> hi all
[16:39] <dijenerate> anyone here using a Fujitsu U810 or Vulcan Flipstart?
[16:40] <dijenerate> anyone awake in here?
[16:49] <dijenerate> whenever this is seen I'd like some help
[16:50] <dijenerate> I'm currently using a Vaio UX280P with Ubuntu Studio Edition...
[16:51] <dijenerate> I'm used to the Vaio's performance but have finally had it with it's poor battery life (especially with the WWAN in use) and it's poor wifi performance (small antenna syndrome)
[16:54] <dijenerate> some background as to my linux experience... I'm a former Zaurus developer and I wrote this tutorial: http://micropctalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3026
[16:55] <dijenerate> simple, nothing too fancy but proof I'm not a nooboob
[16:55] <dijenerate> anyway, my problem, I'm looking for a new machine, and I'm trying to decide what to buy...
[16:57] <dijenerate> I also have a Flipstart E1001 (who doesn't now with their low prices) but alas I have no working Mouse buttons, trackstick and can't access the Dinoboard/InfoPane which happens to control the WWAN module's power
[17:00] <dijenerate> the wifi is the AR5523 from Atheros on USB which means ndiswrapper only... bleh! :(
[17:00] <dijenerate> oh, and I can't seem to get the internal speakers to work, even though audio is perfect via the headphone jacks
[17:01] <dijenerate> other than that, great battery life, well made hardware no decent linux support... what a waste!
[17:02] <dijenerate> I can't seem to find anyone else working on the linux support for it, that's why I'm here... HELP!!!
[17:02] <dijenerate> If this is a no go, I'll have to sell it and look at something else
[17:03] <dijenerate> I've considered the U810 but so far all reports are that the 800MHz Stealey is a waste of time and it can't even multitask
[17:03] <dijenerate> of course these people ran Winbloze!
[17:04] <dijenerate> anyone here try it with a real O.S.? how's performance (and remember I'm coming from Vaio UX usage here)
