Samsung Q430 Ubuntu 10.04 Fully Working
Posted: 30 Jan 2011, 04:54
Figured I would share with everyone how I got my Q430 working in full with Ubuntu 10.04.
1. Install Ubuntu
2. Plug in LAN and update everything, and install nvidia and wireless restricted drivers.
3. Enable two finger scrolling
gedit /home/EnableTwoFingerScrolling.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Enable Two Finger Scrolling Script
sleep 5 # This seems to make the script work 100% of the time
synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1
synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1
synclient EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5
synclient EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=48
Save and exit gedit
Add /bin/sh /home/EnableTwoFingerScrolling.sh to Startup applications
4. Enable backlight control
Samsung Brightness Control
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:voria/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install nvidia-bl-dkms
sudo gedit /etc/modules
add the line nvidia_bl
5. Misc tools
sudo apt-get install samsung-tools
That's it! Now you can let your i5 breathe!
Thanks to all the guys on this forum for your hard work!
Enjoy,
Alex
