OK, the Ubuntu forums aren't helping and I thought maybe you guys here could help.

First off, does anyone know the best flavor of Linux to use on an HP Envy? what has the best support out of the box?

If not, does anyone know how the hell to get the following to work on Ubuntu 10.04:

1. The touchpad to work at all? Right now, right clicking doesnt work at at all, and left clicks dont work while you have another finger on the pad at all. It jumps all over. ALSO, the multi-touch isn't clickable, but it's for sure a multi-touch touchpad. Works in W7 and can do things like a MBP in W7

2. The computer feels like it's on fire... i think im missing some driver.

Seems odd that the random meta keys like calc, email, brightness, right click, etc work, but not the touchpad?

The video card seems fine, but i haven't tested compiz fully yet...

Thanks so much to anyone who helps. i want to get back to linux after a couple years on Mac. :)
