Linux On My Samsung

Video driver is openchrome. Really? That's a driver for VIA chipsets, and the n510 is Nvidia. You probably won't have much success without the proprietary Nvidia driver. As for the microphone, are you sure it's not working? Check the mixer levels to make sure the volume isn't just all the way down....

BTW, did you manage the volume control to get working through FN keys? Does this work out of the box with jaunty? The volume control via Fn keys worked out of the box with 9.04. To get the Fn keys to control the brightness, see my post here: http://www.sammynetbook.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic...

I'm not entirely sure how, but I can now alter the brightness. The Fn keys don't work, but the gnome applet is able to control it with no problems at all. I'm using the video driver direct from Nvidia (version 185.18.36) rather than the version through apt. My kernel is the latest stock jaunty kerne...

I've installed ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix on my N510 with mostly the same results as you (pretty much everything works except the brightness control). Here's hoping Nvidia get round to sorting this out soon!
