RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02) Works out of the box. #### DVDRW ATAPI: TSSTcorp DVD+/-RW TS-L633J, D200, max UDMA/100 CD-ROM TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L633J D200 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Using driver: scsi3-mmc Supported extensions: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Successfully burns both cd mediums and dvd mediums, tested using K3B 2.0.2-1. #### Touchpad It is using the synaptic driver. Works ok after installing the package xf86-input-synaptics. Todo: Needs tweaking, cause it is too anoying. Use this script to disable the touch pad when you do not like it: ``` #!/bin/bash if [ $(synclient -l | grep TouchpadOff | gawk -F '= ' '{ print $2 }') -eq 0 ]; then synclient TouchpadOff=1 else synclient TouchpadOff=0 fi ``` #### Wireless Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) In kernel 2.6 it works out of the box, but in kernel 3.0 there is no wlan0, we have to blacklist some modules. So open "/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" and append the following line: blacklist bcma now, reboot or restart the kernel. When we issue iwconfig, it should now list wlan0: ``` lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"*******" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Bit Rate=72.2 Mb/s Tx-Power=19 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-32 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:968 Missed beacon:0 ``` #### Bluetooth Both pairing, sending files and receiving files works out of the box, tested with blueman. #### VGA Tested on an external CRT monitor, works out of the box on KDE 4.7. #### Graphic adapter ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5600 working out of the box. #### Audio Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio #### Display Available sizes: ``` 1366x768 60.0*+ 1280x720 59.9 1152x768 59.8 1024x768 59.9 800x600 59.9 848x480 59.7 720x480 59.7 640x480 59.4 ``` Brightness controls work out of the box. #### Suspending to disk (Hibernation) works out of the box - tested on KDE 4.7 #### Suspending to ram (Sleep) works out of the box - tested on KDE 4.7 #### Sensors We got 3 sensors: * radeon-pci-0100 * acpitz-virtual-0 * acpi termal zone 0 Temperature They work out of the box. ### Partially Working ### Not Working #### Processor frequency control * says unsupported I think: ``` :: Setting cpufreq governing rules [BUSY] grep: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* /cpufreq/scaling_available_governors: No such file or directory, cpu 0 wrong, unknown or unhandled CPU?
