Hardware
- Audio: HDA Intel Realtek ALC833 - snd_hda_intel - compiled alsa-driver (1.0.12) with patch!
- Video: ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 - fglrx (extra/ati-fglrx-beyond)
- Modem:
- Wired NIC: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) - rtl8139too
- Wireless NIC: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05) - ipw2200 (extra/ipw2200-fw)
Wireless NIC
Install driver:
pacman -S extra/ipw2200-fw
Get WiFi LED signalization working:
echo "options ipw2200 led=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
Installing Arch Linux
I used Arch Linux 0.7.2 FTP Install and I haven't had to do any specialities. I just connected thru ethernet card (rtl8139too module was autoloaded) and it worked fine.
Kernel
To get all the things working, use Beyond kernel (extra/kernel26beyond).
Power Management
ACPI
Install ACPI daemon.
pacman -S current/acpid
Add this daemon to rc.conf:
acpid
Dynamic CPU frequency scaling
Install some packages:
pacman -S extra/cpufreqd extra/cpufrequtils extra/powernowd
Add these modules to rc.conf:
speedstep_centrino cpufreq_userspace
Add this daemon to rc.conf:
powernowd
Suspend to disk
I followed Suspend_to_Disk HOWTO and it works fine.
Xorg
Synaptics touchpad
Install synaptics driver for notebook touchpads and X.org evdev input driver.
pacman -S extra/synaptics current/xf86-input-evdev
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" Option "SHMConfig" "true" EndSection
To use this you'll need to change your InputDevice line in your "ServerLayout" section to use the synaptics mouse.
