    Hey guys,

    I havn't really tried linux at all before but am so far loving it. I am however having a few problems that would be great to get some help with!

    http://www.linlap.com/wiki/samsung+q310

    This website seems to be giving me some pointers. When i installed i did not disable APCI...Although i do not seem to be having the same problems as other have had with a constant reboot (wonder if this is to do with the bios update?).
    The guide says it may be good to 'A workaround is to add mem=4096M to the grub line' although i do not understand how to do this?

    Another problem is that when i press the brightness down key the laptop crashes!

    Has anyone on here got this OS or another linux varient workign well on a samsung q310?

    thanks guys!

    Hi there,
    perhaps, it'd help if you summarized your problems in 'orderly fashion' :)). From your post I don't know your probs, except with the brightness....
