Hp Dv2000 Linux Drivers
HP DV2000 Touchpad problem I have upgraded a HP dv2000 (HPdv2171cl) to Win 7 and now I have a touchpad problem. I have installed the HP Vista driver and the Synaptic driver trying to get the touchpad to work, as well as scoured this and other sites for advice. The touchpad is jerky and the scrollbar on the side is not. Drivers: Display Problems - HP Pavilion. I Have opensuse 10.2 installed and i'm trying to get the internal wireless card to work. I ran ndiswrapper with a sp32158 driver supplied on the HP we.
I've been trying to get ubuntu to run on my hp dv 2000 with an amd turion x2 processor and an nvidia GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M card. The problem is that I am getting horizontal lines on the screen. and the power button which should be in the far right is on the far left of the screen. Display fails when I access dash home. i think there's a problem with the nvidia drivers. Also the wireless is not working. I tried to activate the broadcom wireless drivers in additional drivers but they do not activate. I am a complete newbie. Any help will be appreciated.

For the Wireless, you have to have Internet connected through ethernet. I tried to activate hardware through 'restricted drivers' before and it didn't work until I plugged into Ethernet. That was getting my WIFI going, though. I know nothing about the Graphics issue, never have had the graphics issue in the past. In ubuntu 12.04, make sure you have the wireless switch at the front turned on before pressing the power button, I had a Toshiba satellite L305D with Ubuntu 14.04, if I turned the switch off while in the OS, then turned it back on, it wouldn't recognize the adapter until I rebooted with the switch in the on position. Same thing with booting with it off, then trying to turn it on at the loggin. Ubuntu has gone through.... 28 versions? (Including the XX.10 ones) and they still can't get things fixed, but once you get it all spiffed up you'll like it.
