Installation

I chose to do a PXE installation due to the fact that this model has no CD-ROM and no floppy. The installation went smooth, Ubuntu recognized most of my hardware and X ran out-of-the-box.

Detected Hardware

• ethernet and wireless
• touchpad
• video card

Missing Hardware

• Pen/Stylus/Digitizer <- whatever you want to call it

Unknown

These hardware components have not been tested by myself as I have no use for them.

• Card readers: SD/MMC/CF
• PCMCIA
• IrDA - will test later
• External monitor - will test later

Configuration

Tablet Pen

In order to get this working I had to install the setserial program. Edit the /etc/serial.conf file, and add the following line to it:

/dev/ttyS0 port 0x338 irq 4 autoconfig

Re-start the computer or just execute (as root)

# setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x338 irq 4 autoconfig

Add the following lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
...
        Load    "wacom"                 # add this line

Restart X and the pen should work!
