[edit] Interesting devices

[edit] Input

AlpsPS/2 ALPS TouchPad
Works using the synaptics driver for Xorg.

[edit] Bluetooth

I didn't anything particular to make it work, loaded modules are: 

rfcomm l2cap hci_usb bluetooth

and I can bind to a GPS with the help of hcitool: 

# hcitool dev
  Devices:
  hci0    00:16:FE:90:A8:A7

[edit] Network

  • Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG: works great with ipw3945.
    I'm looking forward to test the just released iwlwifi driver.
  • Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8036: using sky2, some problem after resume, will need to investigate
    It also suffers of a bug for which it stops working after some high burst, reloading the module makes the device functional again

[edit] Video

This laptop is equipped with 2 video cards: one for "Speed", one for "Stamina" mode. You can switch between them toggling a switch near the power button and rebooting.

  • NVidia GeForce Go 7400 ("Speed" mode): Works good with proprietary drivers from NVidia. Using the nvidia-settings utility you can setup and turn on/off external monitors.
  • Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML ("Stamina" mode): Yeah, great! i810 driver for X.org works quite fine: xinerama, dual screen, tv-out! NOTE: since version 2.0.0 the driver is called simply intel and uses the XRandR 1.2 extensions to setup multiple screens, a different version of the xorg.conf file is also needed (see below in the FILES section). You can then play with it using xrandr: 
$ xrandr -help
$ xrandr -q
$ xrandr --output VGA --auto
$ xrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS
  • I have an init script that runs just before [gkxw]dm and links the correct xorg.xonf at bootup.

[edit] Felica card reader

It's probably this one on the USB bus but I don't have any proximity readable smart card... 

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 054c:01bb Sony Corp.

Works fine with the libpasori demo applications.

[edit] PCMCIA 

09:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller

Works with no problem, use yenta_socket.

[edit] Card reader

  • Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD): the driver is appearing within the tifm_7xx1, look for the tifm_ms.

[edit] Fingerprint reader

Not properly tested yet.

[edit] Camera

Here is the driver: http://lsb.blogdns.net/ry5u870/ http://wiki.mediati.org/R5u870.
Works fine with xawtv and others, see the above page for more.

[edit] Audio

Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller 

modprobe snd_intel_hda model=basic

and unmute channels, you can also record sounds.

[edit] Backlight

Works with the sony-laptop module. The module is included in 2.6.21-rc1 and later kernels. Previously it was available in the -mm tree as sony_acpi.
See /sys/class/backlight/sony/*

[edit] CPU frequency scaling

Here's what cpufreq-info reports: 

cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to linux AT brodo DOT de, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
  hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.83 GHz
  available frequency steps: 1.83 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 1.83 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1000 MHz.
analyzing CPU 1:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 1
  hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.83 GHz
  available frequency steps: 1.83 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 1.83 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1000 MHz.

[edit] Suspend to Ram

Suspending works nice when using the i810 video driver (and the i945 card obviously), using μswsusp you can issue 

s2ram -f -p

Using the NVidia card you need to suspend while in X to get the display back on resume and the console will stay blank anyway. 

s2ram -f

[edit] Suspend to Disk

I have problems but I didn't spend much time on it yet.

[edit] Notes

  • VT, which is available on the Core2 Duo, is disabled by the bios and there's no option to enable it, so no virtualization here...
  • the C3 state appears when on battery (/proc/acpi/processor/CPU[01]/power)
  • Hotkeys configured through acpid
  • I'm using a Debian Etch based installation (used the -rc1 installer)
