HP Pavilion tx1000

well for those of you who recently bought this laptop and tried to install linux. then you must have been frustrated as I am.

well let me start by choosing the best distro to use. For the best distro I would recommend you to install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Because Ubuntu has been really great in identifying the nvidia graphic cards.

well for now I’m gonna leave you the link so you can study you laptop better with linux installation. just follow this link and you’ll find what you need.

I’ll teach you how to activate 3D effect in HP Pavilion tx1000 using opensuse 10.3

firstly go to this site to download the one click install feature that opensuse 10.3 has. After you had downloaded the necessary driver online, now use your terminal to activate the nvidia driver. Log in as root then type

#su

then type

#init 3

and you will log into text mode, then run this command there

#sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia

then reboot your laptop for the effect to take changes. After logging in your opensuse run sax2 from the terminal and you could see that the 3D acceleration has been activated. now use your terminal then type

#gnome-control-center &

there will be an icon for desktop effects and you can set you 3D there.
