Ubuntu on MSI Wind U100

Got my Wind Netbook yesterday, took out Windows 7 and installed Ubuntu Karmic Koala. The distribution do not run well on Wind. The brightness control will increase and decrease by itself for about 2-3 minutes till the system settles down.

The solution was to downgrade to 9.04(Jaunty Jackalope). That worked well enough but I'm a little disappointed that I can't use 9.10. Karmic has nicer GUI and package management enhancements which I was used to.

Hoping that the bugs will be fixed in the near future.
