Please could other D810 testers e-mail `somez@t-online.hu` after editing this wiki page, so we can work together to avoid confusions!

Jonathan Jesse is testing Kubuntu with another D810 which you can find here

Nikolaus Rath is testing Dapper Beta on another D810 with partly different results. See below.

  • ATI Mobility Radeon X300 graphics card
  • 40GB Harddisk
  • 256MB 400MHZ DDR Ram
  • DVD-ROM

  • Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01)

  • Texas Instruments Smartcard Reader (Unknow device 8083 by lspci)

Test by Nikolaus Rath

On Dapper Beta, my results differ from the above reported ones as follows:

  • resume from sleep doesn't work
  • "external monitor - extend desktop" works perfectly.
  • Sound volume is way to high by default
  • Standby Key doesn't work
  • Hibernate Key works
  • F10 is not eject CD/DVD but turn on/off infrared, no idea whether it works

System is:

  • Intel Pentium-M 1.7Ghz processor
  • ATI Mobility Radeon X300 graphics card
  • 60GB Harddisk
  • 512MB DDR Ram
  • Nec DVD +/- RW
  • 15", 1680x1050 screen
  • Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Wi-Fi network controller (rev 05)
  • Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01)

  • Texas Instruments Smartcard Reader (Unknow device 8083 by lspci)
  • Bluetooth module

Test by Brian Maher

On Dapper 6.06 LTS, my results differ from the above reported ones as follows:

  • resume from standby fails (standby key shortcut works and enters standby, just can't resume)
  • hibernation fails (starts to hibenate but returns to locked screen immediately)
  • Hibernate Key works
  • F10 is not eject CD/DVD but turn on/off infrared, no idea whether it works
  • X600 Mobility supported after following howto

System same as above except for:

  • ATI Mobility Radeon X600 graphics card

Test by James Williams

Dapper 6.06

The following features work with a Dock/Port Replicator.

  • USB
  • External Monitor - Mirror view
  • External Monitor - Multi-head view

Test by Jeremy Cox

Gutsy 7.10 Tribe 5

My results differ from the ones indicated above as follows:

  • +F3 works to display battery status
  • +F10 ejects the CD/DVD
  • Hibernate / Sleep both fail; the computer immediately locks up, and must be restarted to recover

Everything else works or doesn't work as before.

Of note:

  • The new displayconfig-gtk monitor configuration GUI doesn't work. It either crashes or fails to configure properly for screen extension every time.
  • Display extension to another monitor won't work in an automated fashion because of this.
  • Mirroring works fine with no configuration.

This system does include the ATI X600 Mobile Graphics Card
