Linux distribution for my DV9208 Turion x2
Does anyone know of a Linux distribution that will install and run the graphic interface and wireless?

Ubuntu has the best hardware support I have ever seen. I use it on my Toshiba laptop and it detects all.
If Ubuntu won't work with your laptop, you probably need another laptop.

Re: Linux distribution for my DV9208 Turion x2
I don't know the specs on your notebook, but I would suggest that you try one of the Fedora Live CDs and see if it detects/uses all of your hardware.
Personally, I have the DV9335nr and it loaded up and ran beautifully.
One word of advice, though. You will be offered to install directly from the Live CD. I strongly advise that you resist the urge to do so and that you take the extra time to bring down the ISO for the install media.
I won't go into details as to why, but I promise that it will be a much better decision.

Re: Linux distribution for my DV9208 Turion x2
Fedora 7 (Moonshine) loaded like a champ on my DV9000 series notebook and I have been very pleased with it since.
Just my $.02
Your milage may vary...

Re: Linux distribution for my DV9208 Turion x2
The only real difference you and I have on that front is that my graphics card has dedicated memory and yours has shared. However I can't see that as a good reason for it to fail as you describe.
I'm at work right now so my time is limited. If you have a little more time freedom you might want to check out http://www.fedoraforum.org/ and see if they have your issue listed there.
I would be willing to bet that this is not a conspiracy against you personally and that someone else has been here and done this as well...

Re: Linux distribution for my DV9208 Turion x2
bcm43xx_mac80211: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed. That pops up every so often at the localhost login: prompt. The build in Ethernet is up as eth1.
Out of curiosity I tried issuing the command
ifup eth0
the system responded
/sbin/ifup: configuration for eth0 not found.
and promptly locked up.
I'll have to spend some time on the Fedora web site to see if others there have solved this problem.
