## Foreword

The laptop works mostly out of the box with a few configurations.

## Video

This laptop has a "ATI Mobility HD Radeon 3600" card as you could see on the lspci. Use xf86-video-ati or proprietary catalyst driver. Guides can be found in the ATI article in this wiki.

## Webcam

It also has 2 MP webcam, it's listed on lsusb:

    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:63eb Microdia

Works perfectly with the uvcvideo module. Works using cheese.

## Sound

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf adding:

    alias snd-card-0 snd_hda_intel
    alias snd-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
    options snd-pscp index=2
    options snd_hda_intel model=dell-m6

And in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

    options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6

Then run:

    # modprobe snd-hda-intel
    # modprobe snd-pcm-oss

## Microphone

To set up microphone:

    # amixer sset 'Mic' 85% cap
    # amixer sset 'Capture' 85% cap
    # amixer sset 'Digital' 85%
    # amixer sset 'Internal Mic' 85% cap

If you want to use the internal microphone (embedded next to the webcam) run:

    # amixer sset 'Mic Jack Mode' 'Mic In'

If you want to use an external microphone using the jack run:

    # amixer sset 'Mic Jack Mode' 'Line In'

## Ports and drives

CD/DVD drive worked out of the box.

## Power management

Works out of the box.

## Input devices

Keyboard works out of the box. For touchpad read the Synaptics guide.

## Networking

Ethernet works out of the box. Wireless may work out of the box depending on your wifi card. If you have a Broadcom BCM43XX card, you will need to install the broadcom-wlAUR driver from the AUR. Read Broadcom wireless guide for details. b43[broken link: invalid section] driver can work as well, if supplied with proper firmware.
