The only thing I had to do was : Desactivate the oled screen : Compile the driver asusoled https://launchpad.net/asusoled/ It works, but you need to rmmod usbhid, then I prefered to completly switch off at startup with this script : ################ #!/bin/sh rmmod usbhid /your_path/asusoled -d modprobe usbhid ################# And for the webcam : # sudo apt-get install subversion # svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk linux-uvc # cd linux-uvc In the makefile change the INSTALL_MOD_DIR := ubuntu/media/usbvideo # make # sudo make install It works in ekiga for example I installed Gutsy beta, and now nvidia and wireless work perfectly out of the box !

The only thing I had to do was :

Desactivate the oled screen :
Compile the driver asusoled
https://launchpad.net/asusoled/
It works, but you need to rmmod usbhid, then I prefered to completly switch off at startup with this script :
################
#!/bin/sh
rmmod usbhid
/your_path/asusoled -d
modprobe usbhid
#################

And for the webcam :
# sudo apt-get install subversion
# svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk linux-uvc
# cd linux-uvc

In the makefile change the INSTALL_MOD_DIR := ubuntu/media/usbvideo
# make
# sudo make install

It works in ekiga for example

I am working on a complete installation guide for Ubuntu on G1S but its still very rough, considering the fact that I have yet to install drivers for the wifi and camera [which works only with Ekega].

Try this link and tell me if it did any good!

I downloaded and burned the iso 7.04 desktop version and it doesn't get past me hitting the "start/install" point without showing an error. I am not sure that it is recognizing the controller (i think that is the problem). Could you shed some light on this for me please. Thanks for the help.

The last I've trapped in is the "class" keyword I've used as parameter in a function definition: simply IE6 did not parsed source correctly, and raised an "Identifier expected"!

Keep trying though, I have a feeling that this particular thing has become rather easy to solve nowadays. The other thing that I know will trouble me for quite sometime is the wireless, an Inter 4965 chipset. The ndsiwrapper did not do the trick for me the first two times i tried, but I will try again in due course.... The sad thing is that I do not have a wireless router to test, nor do I live in an area with other networks :P. And I have the same problem with the bluetooth. I have not tried to make it work yet since I have no bluetooth devices lying around... And last, but not least I have yet to see the webcam work... I know its lame but that is because I was doing something else... I installed Transgaming's Cedega successfully and started using it. I installed Civilization 4, which rocks!!, and I now spend hours playing after work. That unfortunately keeps me from taking care of the things mentioned above. Anyway, I will surely update the thread once I got everything working... Too bad that envy did not work for you.

I agree, G1S is a good laptop, and I do not like Vista. I'm still have problem installing the nvidia driver... I've try the last envy script, and the last nvidia installer, but I'm facing the "black screen" when gdm start(freeze with cpu max). And, after installing the last ndiswrapper and xp driver, my wifi connection stop working after approximately 5mn. I'm going to install again a fresh Feisty, because now, I know that it will work, without waiting for the new nvidia driver. Wish you the best. Thanks. Congratulations !
