I'm about to embark on an upgrade to Precise Pangolin. In light of that, here are a few tweaks I had to make in Natty which I may need to re-do in Precise (or maybe not?)
Sound not working on docking station
Add the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad
Odd settings for nvidia card
I never really conquered this one, but the installation of disper helps by making it possible to dynamically change the monitor. Add
http://ppa.launchpad.net/disper-dev/ppa/ubuntu natty main
to repos then install disper
Making 64 bit Win7 VM work nicely in 32 bit Linux
Add a newer version of Virtualbox (4.1.6 I think) to the repos:
https://ppa.launchpad.net/debfx/virtualbox/ubuntu natty main
