# HP Pavilion zd7140

Another work in Progress - by PhrakTure I am currently running Arch on this laptop, 98% problem free... and no I have not yet configured the media card reader, as I have no use for it. If anyone really has a problem, let me know (PM from forums).

## Modules

- Ethernet: 8139too
- Wireless: ndiswrapper using BCMWL5A pkg PKGBUILD
- Audio: snd-intel-8x0 / snd-pcm-oss
- Video: nvidia [1]

## Other

- Composite: works, but gets goofy with flash animations in Firefox

## Unusual settings

- Video mode detected wrong

  Add the following to the device (nvidia driver) section in xorg.conf

      Option "IgnoreEDID" "True"

- And the following line to the "Monitor" section

      Modeline "1440x900"  106.47  1440 1520 1672 1904  900 901 904 932  -hsync +vsync

The following Display Subsection (in the Screen Section) will allow you to use the display's native viewing mode.

    Subsection "Display"
      Depth       24
      Modes "1440x900"
      Virtual 1440 900
    EndSubsection
