Notes
|
| Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3400+ (L1 I Cache: 64K, D cache 64K, L2 Cache: 256K) | Works | AFAIK, this should actually be a 64-bit Athlon equivalent, w/less cache. It runs at 1800, 1600 and 800 Mhz. (See e.g. powernowd) |
| 17" WXGA TFT Display with Acer CrystalBrite | Works | Installer supports 1440x900 OOTB. Has a good picture quality. You can adjust brightness by pressing Fx and arrow keys to left and right. |
| NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 (128 MB) | Works | Works w/nv and nvidia drivers. Probably a good idea to not to use hardware cursor (HWCursor) ,set in `xorg.conf'. ((Option "HWCursor" "off")) |
| 1x512MB, DDR2 RAM | Works | |
| Hitachi HTS541612J9AT00 ATA DISK Drive, 120034 MB w/7512KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100)) | Works | |
| Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | Works, but not OOTB. | Configured post-install, see: [debiantutorials] Wireless on Debian with your Broadcom AirForce One 54g (bcm43xx). Works mostly fine, I've seen it crash a few times, if I really put pressure on it w/bittorrent and tens of seeds. Capping the download to 350 kb/s seems to have worked in making it never crash. |
| nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) | Works OOTB. | Tried only 100Mb. |
| PHILIPS SDVD8821, ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33) | Works | Can write DVD:s. Cannot remember for sure if I tried both + and -. One of them works for sure. |
| 44W 6-cell Li-ion battery pack Up to 2.5-hour battery life | Works | W/o installing any extra sw, the power just goes down suddenly. Not very nice. On the brighter side, the system can nicely halt when you just press the power button. |
| Realtek ALC883 Sound card | Works (at least partly OOTB). | Works for playing mp3:s and movies w/mplayer. I've had trouble w/sounds in youtube for some reason. Might be completely a sw issue. |
| Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) | Works partially (2 out of 5) | Needs tifm_7xx1 driver, which is not in the kernel. You need to compile it, but then it works straight away at least for SD - cards. Apparently it works for MMC cards, as well. I'm sure it doesn't work for xD cards, because the whole handling for that does not exist in the kernel. |
| 4 x USB 2.0 ports | Works | |
| 1x speaker/ headphone/ line-out jack with S/PDIF support | Works partially. | Speaker works, but isn't great. Headphone jack works, but not when you plug it completely in. |
| Built-in microphone | Works | Can do `arecord' and works w/linphone VoIP ! |
| 1x Modem (RJ-11) port | Untested | |
| 1x PC Card slot (Type II) | Untested. |
This laptop is operating under Debian (self-compiled) Kernel version 2.6.21-5.
