Lucky, indeed.

Still haven't gotten it working, unfortunately. I think Chris is on the right track- that's what makes sense to me, anyway (download the proper drivers from a working computer, and tell it to install them) but for whatever reason it didn't work. I'll try it again today; maybe I just botched it somehow.


And, thanks to your suggestion of trying full Ubuntu, I had it on a stick, and booted my laptop from it and played with the OS some that way. Would've done it for longer but it doesn't play real well with my trackpad and it was kind of a pain. I'm sure that's fixable with a better driver, but I'm not really interested in Linuxing this machine just yet.


One more day of 'home with no real plans' to muddle with it...
