Current Issues

  • The Celeron M processor needs p4-clockmod module for speedstepping - not natively supported by powernowd, needs scripts modifications (PaulSladen: p4-clockmod is deprecated. Scaling is not enabled on the P4-desktop chips because it doesn't actually save any power. The throttling is just there stop the chip melting under load; a large latency is introduced when the chip switches between throttle-levels and this is preferable to avoid).

  • IRDA doesn't work at all (irdadump shows only the computer)
  • The internal PCMCIA card reader is a passive one - not supported by Linux
  • Software suspend: 3D accelleration doesn't work after resume
  • Laptop mode is totally untuned for any usage - watching a movie is impossible, had to modify some ACPI events
  • Switching to an external display is near-to-impossible. The only thing that's possible to achieve is enabling external display with laptop's LCD disabled (needs editing of xorg.conf and server restart)
  • synaptics driver doesnt work correctly (no extended functions) if psmouse is a kernel module. Works good with psmouse built into the kernel
  • the soundcard module is generating a lot of kernel messages (not corrected since 2.6.7, error in snd-intel8x0 only)
  • no program for managing wireless connection. WiFi Radar could be installed by default
