Notes

MichaelWood3 - For me Hibernate (which is different from suspend/standby) doesn't seem to have ever worked. Although there seems to be conflicting reports here.

Old Issues

I have problems with the Flight 4, and Flight 5. When Setup is installing the Xorg Server, it crashes down, and turn black the screen. TillRettig: The problem persists on Flight 6.

When you resume from standby/sleep mode the device eth0 (or which ever is your wireless interface) dissapears, looks like this could be a bug in the ipw2100 driver as I tried reloading the module and that worked fine. Bug #39644:

PaulSladen: the machine comes with a broken ACPI DSDT ("buggy BIOS"):

sudo apt-get install iasl
sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt
iasl -d dsdt

then compile it up and stick it in the initramfs before rebooting:

patch -p0 < samsung-x05-dsdt.dsl.diff
iasl dsdt.dsl
sudo cp DSDT.aml /etc/mkinitramfs/
sudo update-initramfs -u $(uname -r)

This is great and means that suspend now works... however, the little icons in the top-left hand corner now destory the mouse pointer as they don't restore it after borrowing it. (Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Alt-F7).

TillRettig: It didn't need to reasemble the DSDT -- just installing of Breezy and Dapper Flight6 gave success: Battery state was shown, Monitor- and Sound changing (fn+cursor keys) worked. Also suspend and hibernation: only the keys were not set correctly: hibernation worked only from the shutdown-menu, suspend with the hibernation-button (fn+Esc).

MichaelWood3: This was needed to get the mouse wheel and middle button to work correctly edit the xorg.conf and change the values for this section to look like this:

• Section "InputDevice"
          Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
          Driver          "mouse"
          Option          "CorePointer"
          Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
          Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"
          Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
  EndSection

PaulSladen:The Scrollwheel (also the middle button) is not working correctly. Apparently it was under Breezy, so this is a regression.

TillRettig: Scrollwheel works fine under Flight6.

PaulSladen: MemoryStick carder is a Cardbus/PCMCIA device that is "plugged in" when a flash card is inserted. No idea how to drive it.

PaulSladen: I wrote some acpi-support card for the VGA switching, but this might "just work" with a fixed DSDT anyway. Something isn't quite right, if you set the status to crt on lcd off, it actually returns crt on lcd on when queried. We worked out that the card does some fancy detection on whether a monitor is plugged into the secondary vga out.

PaulSladen: Can't work out how to get the battery key (or preferably, disable the hardware status icons). But the WWW, MAIL and TICK keys are: #23165.
