Fixes after installation

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

Ubuntu Guide now covers this issue: How to get ipw3945 and wep/wpa to work

External VGA port

Ubuntu's auto-configured xorg.conf doesn't use the X60's external VGA port by default. This means that either another configuration utility must be used, or xorg.conf must be edited by hand. So far I haven't had any luck with Kubuntu's System Settings utility, so here I'm looking at direct changes to xorg.conf.

Auto-configured xorg.conf for reference

This only activates the X60's LCD, and does not use the external VGA port. 

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
