hi 

I got debian running on it for 3months at least ... 

it requiere a few tweaks (DSDT) but you will find them , if not pm me

tell us your bios version too...

Any linux gX70 owners please say hi here , I can help you

Hi, thanks for reply! 

My BIOS version is: LENOVO 40CN@%WW(v2.11), 7/29/2011

SMBIOS version: 2.7

How about Ubunutu, not Debian?

Thanks!

hi,

I guess you mean 40cn25ww  ? where did you bought it ?

1st think to do is to backup this one it is precious since it is unreleased 

I use debian because It feeds my needs most of our tricks should work fine on ubuntu , as long as your distro has GNU inside ...

Something else you can do for better support is uploading requested data at  :

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/752542#

I suppose you rr affected by the fan issue , TZ00 is not working ...
