For 64-bit install, update BIOS first to fix ACPI and wireless problems. If you use 32-bit there should not be problems.
What does not work
Hibernation (is still flaky). Suspend seems to work OK with kernel 2.6.35, xorg 1.9.
Hardware | Details | Status |
---|---|---|
HDD | WDC WD2500BEVS-22UST0 250GB | Works. |
Screen/Graphics | Acer 17" (1440x900), Intel x3100 | Works fully. |
Wireless | Intel 3945 | Works after you install the firmware. I used netcfg2 or wicd for management of WLAN. |
Ethernet | Broadcom BCM5787 (tg3 driver) | Works out of box. |
Audio | Realtek ALC268 | Working well. Recording from the internal microphone is flawed, however. |
Card Reader | 5-in-1 card reader supports optional MultiMediaCard™, Secure Digital card, Memory Stick®, Memory Stick PRO™ or xD-Picture Card™ | Works only for SD? MS is not recognized? |
Webcam | Acer "Crystal Eye" Webcam | Works (uvcvideo) |
Touchpad | ALPS PS/2 | Works (with current X releases no need to configure). |
Bluetooth | Broadcom "A-Link BlueUsbA2" | Works |
Remote control sensor | Works: install LIRC, the driver is lirc_ene0100. I successfully command MPD and MPlayer with it. |
