* No DMA for DVD Rom When trying to enable DMA for the Drive ( it is recognized as hda on my system, I get some HDIO errors. This seems to be related to about 1000 posts on the net and to some problems with libata. Ths Problem persists also in a fresh Install of Ubuntu. Problem occurs with a data rate of about 1,5mb/sec and 100% CPU ( on one core ) when trying to read a disk. You cannot play DVD with this. |

Issues
Fixed
WiFi does not work
- Install linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic
- Audio
- Works with Gutsy. If not working, edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Code: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Edit the line "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to read "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack" If you cannot find this line, add it. If you don't have sound after a reboot, edit the sound preference, and look for the "Front" volume option. Make sure its not muted. Same for PCM.
Seems like their is still a bug regarding the internal mic: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/153963

- Strange Multi-Colored Character screen during installation with Intel Video
- Reboot, and at the alternate-cd boot screen, select something other than VGA mode (1024x768 perhaps)
- Webcam
Works with Gutsy (select V4L2, V4L is not working!).
If not, see http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ Follow the wiki installation guide: download from SVN, install headers and built-essential, edit makefile, compile, add uvcvideo to your /etc/modules, reboot. In Ekiga, choose "V4L2" (does not work with V4L). See your amazed face on your screen.
- No DMA for DVD Rom
- Nevermind for this problem. I still had ide_generic in my initrd config and so it got loaded every time. This prevented ata_piix from setting my Drive into correct mode.
Pending
- CPU Fan is loud
- Run powertop [apt-get install powertop] to fix a few things
Is [http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/admin/powernowd powernowd] installed, does it need agressive settings?
Is the [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling Kernel Dynamic Frequency] Scaling turned on, and is the BIOS set to let it work? 3 is working. Please note that the fan is loud if you don't use the Nvidia driver. With the vesa one, the laptop does not really get hotter, but the fan is loud. With the Nvidia driver, it's almost as good as with Vista.
- Hibernate ( Suspend to disk ):
- Works somehow, not reliable. Display switches off but no Image is written, as there is no HD activity and it won't turn off, somtimes it simply writes the Image and turns off. Only reliable Configuration found is Starting Kubuntu normally, stopping KDM from commandline, the Display switches off and then starting blindly a normal X-Session. Then I can hibernate every time.
- Suspend to ram:
- Works, with some issues described in Bug N° 145876 in Launchpad
Discussion
I would like to confirm:
- Do the media buttons work and it is just sound that isn't working or do they not respond at all? -- Everything works now!
- Is the backlight control automatic when you go to battery mode? -- Yes! (configurable with the power applet)
- Can screen-brightness be controlled using Fn keys? -- Yes!
- Can the external monitor/TV output be controlled with Fn keys? -- Yes!
- Does sleep/hibernate work? -- Not really, screen does not awaken. Note from Francois2: it seems to be working on mine. With Nvidia proprietary drivers. Hibernate worked when I first tried it. But I have some little display problems (the Network manager icon is not entirely displayed from time to time) and the graphic acceleration is slow. It seems to be a known bug in the Nvidia driver. Note from robe: This Bug is fixed in the newest Version, see other issues with Hibernate.
