Hardware details

Notes

1. To get 1280x800 you have to remove all the ModeLine row from the Monitor section of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. To do that you need root right.

2. To get 3DAccelleration and Dual Head working you need to install:

   • xorg-driver-fglrx : apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

   • linux-restricted-modules-686 or linux-restricted-modules-386: Depends on your current kernel apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-386

3. To get Audio working you have to do the following step:

   1. Download driver from: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlhd-2.aspx?lineid=2004052&famid=2004052&series=2004061&Software=True&title=HD%20Audio%20CODECs

   2. Untar the code with tar the followin command: tar xjf realtek-linux-audiopack-3.5-2.tar.bz2

   3. Install modules and driver sudo realtek-linux-audiopack-3.5-2/install

   4. Add loading at boot time with update-rc.d alsasound defaults

4. To get installation complete after that you have complete the first stage of the installation before of the reboot of the machine follow this step:

   1. Open a new console with CTRL+ALT+F2
   2. Edit the file /target/etc/hotplug/blacklist with texteditor. For Example: vi /target/etc/hotplug/blacklist
   3. Add the following line to the bottom of the file:
      • snd_hda_intel
      • snd_hda_codec

5. The default action with GNOME is "Open the default Browser"

6. The default action with GNOME is "Open the default E-Mail Client"

7. To get Gnome started you need to:

   1. install fglrx drivers: $ sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
   2. Change the driver from xorg.conf: $ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
      • Locate Section "Device" near the bottom, and change line Driver "ati" to Driver "fglrx", save changes
   3. Restart Gnome: $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

8. Headphone jack works out of the box, internal speaker works once it's been enabled from alsamixer.

9. To get second desktop in external monitor, you need to do further changes into xorg.conf after Note7, see example here http://myy.helia.fi/~a0402634/linux/xorg_conf.html
