dear brothers

Welcome to LQ!!

Which driver are you concerned about? Video, Wireless? Please post some details on this laptop: cpu, RAM, harddrive, video card, wireless device, etc.

You could make a live version and try it out. You can put it on a cdrom or usb: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Try it live and see if your hardware works. You can get the exact info on your hardware from a terminal while running the live version:

lspci
lsusb

That can be helpful is something isn't working. Then you can search on what might make it work.

You could try my highly scientific, carefully thought out method of installing it and seeing what happens ;^)

thank you man for interest

This is just my opinion, of course, so anything you do with your laptop is your own responsibility- in my experience with a few different laptops(ancient Compaq, a couple of Dells, an IBM Thinkpad A30, and my current laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L355), and information I've found on this forum while searching, you should be ok; the thing I think you will most likely have to fiddle about with to get working is suspend/hibernate, and you shouldn't have too much trouble solving that issue with some searching on the forums.
Admittedly, my approach is a bit reckless- I install Slackware on any computer I get, and fix any issues as they arise- but that works for me.
I hope I've been of some help to you, and wish you luck with your project.

thank you all i install it and work very well
