Running games in Wide Screen resolution

ATI has an updated version of the driver for the integraded graphic chip Radeon XPRESS 200M. I am very happy about that because, finally, I can play Counter-Strike: Source and Pro Evolution Soccer 6 in wide screen resolutions (848x480 and 720x480) in my Compaq Presario V2665 laptop.

Configuring wireless in Ubuntu

Configure wireless network on Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") for a Compaq Presario V2665 is not hard at all, once you know the steps you have to take:

• Install ndiswrapper.
• Get the drivers for Broadcom BCM4318 wireless device (bcmwl5).
• Important trick: install the package bcm43xx-fwcutter.
• Install the drivers: ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf. You can use the graphical tool for this as well. It might be available in System > Administration > Windows Wireless Drivers.
  
• Now you are able to configure networking. I use WPA cryptography in my network.
