    Hi,

    Would there be any issues in installing Linux/Solaris on dv9500t with 319MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS GPU? Are the drivers avalable? If not when will they be available?



    Thanks,

    BGeo

    I'd like to know the answer to the OP's question as well. I am going to be getting a dv2500t soon with the same graphics card...
