<strike>3D acceleration still doesn't work.</strike> 3D accel. only works with proprietary drivers, but with those drivers the computer doesn't wake up from sleep... The wireless card (AirForce One 54g, chipset bcm4318) doesn't work: it is recognized but scan doesn't work (I heard people less newbie that me saying it's a problem of software switching on/off the radio module). <strike>the "Sleep" button disappeared (in ugrade from flight 5 to flight 7)</strike> it works, but it was not so easy to make it appear! |

********** Time to update some informations on this page To use minipci wifi card some "magic" must be done - follow this instrucion http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/MiniPCI - workd perfect form me. reply from Toobaz: NO - thanks for the hint but I think something like this is the right way to do things: http://www.marvec.org/amilo/ (at the moment, it's for the wrong computer :-/ ) |
**** The wireless radio module problem was finally (almost) solved thanks to the acer_acpi module, downloaded from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html and very easy to install and to use. Notice that it still is not perfect: dhclient works almost 1 time out of 10, but after it gets the dhcp packet, all is OK. I had the same results with the "hardware way", but I think it's less interesting for a laptop-owner to open his machine than to install a module... anyway, here's the link: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/MiniPCI. |

Current Issues
The graphic card (Radeon XPress 200M) didn't work "out of the box" 3D acceleration only works with proprietary drivers, but with those drivers the computer doesn't wake up from sleep...

Notes
* Can't tell whose fault it is, but when listening and in the meanwhile recording, frequency of recorded sounds is approximatly a half of real. I noticed it on Audacity, recording while listening to recorded tracks. It happens every time, with both the "mic" and the "line in" jacks. Seems like data input rate is a half of what the driver expects.
** the modem monitor asks me for the modem port; I try the automatic recognizing, it doesn't work
*** Onestly I don't find a difference even when I do it under Window, except an icon appearing on taskbar; I say "no" just because nothing appears in dmesg
**** The wireless radio module problem was finally (almost) solved thanks to the acer_acpi module, downloaded from http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html and very easy to install and to use. Notice that it still is not perfect: dhclient works almost 1 time out of 10, but after it gets the dhcp packet, all is OK.
