Also happens only infrequently.Īlso, I noticed that the hibernate issues started when I switched from the i7-GPU to the nVidia Quattro in the BIOS (can't remember the name of the option right now, but the description said something about "only use this with Win7"). However, I also occasionally encounter the freeze during shutdowns/reboots but it's not that much of an issue for me since it seems the system halts anyway, it just doesn't power off/reboot properly. I received my new m4600 about two weeks ago, swapped the 500GB HDD for an SSD and threw in the 11.04 DVD.Īpart from hibernate everything works quite fine and the system is blazingly fast. Oy.Īll in all, though, works fine besides the watermark and hibernate issues.įirst time post for me here, so please be gentle. I also contacted AMD and did get a response, but they wanted a picture and I have yet to remember to bring a camera, since the watermark is in hardware and doesn't appear on screen captures.
I asked Dell tech support and was immediately dismissed with an unsupported configuration (I guess the certified one is for an nvidia card, after all). (It's not a problem unique to this configuration and seems to have propped up elsewhere). The other problem is that my system has a ATI Mobility FirePro 5950 - and while the proprietary driver provided via the "Additional Drivers" menu does work, it places an "AMD Unsupported hardware" logo at the bottom right-hand corner that I haven't figured out yet how to get rid of. The certification is correct when it says Hibernate doesn't work. Got one of these for work a few days ago, immediately wiped windows off it and put ubuntu on, running 10.10 (I would have gone with the most recent - but I have yet to find a machine running 11.04 that can successfully connect to a Xilinx JTAG pod).
