we have a laptop (dell latitude xt) on our company, and we would like to install ubuntu on it. windows 7 works fine out of the box, so the hardware is fine.

since this laptop has a touchscreen we just installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition 32x.

But, we do not manage to enable the touchscreen, neither the vga graphic drivers.

this is the output from lspci, if somebody cares.

I've tryied to install ati drivers 9.3 , which I downloaded and installed, unpacked and installed, builded and installed, but nothing worked. Looks like the latests version is just accepted to work on jaunty 9.04, so they are kind of old.

what else I can do?

thanks.

Marc
