ETHERNET
Works, perfectly
XORG CONFIGURATION
You will need following packages:
- 915resolution
- xf86-video-i810
Add 915resolution to /etc/rc.conf to DAEMONS and change /etc/conf.d/915resolution to:
# Enter the VBIOS mode to patch MODE="5c" # Enter the desired resolution RESOLUTION="1280 800"
Part of my xorg.conf with explanations:
Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31.47-128.52 VertRefresh 59.9-128.52 Identifier "LCDi" VendorName "Fujitsu" #DisplaySize 260 165 #ModeLine "1280x800" 68.9 1280 1301 1333 1408 800 804 808 816 EndSection
I was not able to configure dual head. One way is to push FN + F3 button before X server starts, and then start it. HorizSync and VertRefresh is for my external monitor. But on resolution more that 1024x768 you can see a bug: two thin lines at left and right are swapped.
Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "i810" VideoRam 131072 Option "VBERestore" "true" Option "DevicePresence" "true" EndSection
VBERestore is needed when you close and open your laptop. Without this option you will need to switch terminal in order to have a picture on your screen.
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen_local" Device "Card0" Monitor "LCDi" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Virtual 1280 800 Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection
Other resolution only for external monitor. You will be able to change them with xrandr.
SOUND
Works poorly in Linux. Alsa is able to determine driver, but SPDIF doesn't work and external microphone too. Luckily internal microphone (above LCD) works good, though you can't change its' volume or disable it in alsamixer.
TOUCHPAD
Install the synaptics driver with
pacman -S synaptics
In xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen_local" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "TouchPad" "CorePointer" InputDevice "ExtMouse" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "TouchPad" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true" Option "SHMConfig" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "ExtMouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" EndSection
If you just change Driver to synaptics, external mouse will not work at all. This way you will have external mouse working and horizontal scrool on touch pad.
Also, I would recommend you to add following in ~/.xinitrc:
syndaemon -i 0.5 -d
It will disable touch pad, while you typing.
ACCESS TO DEVICES
Add user to groups (given you have created a user):
gpasswd -a username video gpasswd -a username optical gpasswd -a username storage
WIRELESS LAN
Fortunately, we have Linux native driver ipw3945, just install it and use wifi-radar
USB
Works normally. Just recommend to use pmount or pmount-hal
ACPI
You will need to install powersave and add "powersaved" into /etc/rc.conf.
