Important Note

Configuration

LAN Network card

The network adapter is

09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller [11ab:4354] (rev 12)

It works with module sky2

Display

The display adpater is

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] (rev 0c)

It works with intel driver integrated in xorg

If you want to activate OpenGL you must install the packages libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri

Audio

The sound adapter is

00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 02)

It works with module snd_hda_intel

Mouse

Works out of the box

Power Management

Hibernation and suspend works out of the box

WiFi

The wifi adapter is the main problem with this computer

0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01)

The bcm4310 chip is not supported yet in the b43 module, I've found two solutions to get it work: Using ndiswrapper with R174291.exe (see [:bcm43xx#head-008d3c9860c55e5707a54612125803ac3b2ad0c8:Ndiswrapper for bcm43xx]) or using the propietary driver of the manufacturer, see http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php.

Modem

Webcam

The integrated webcam is

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 ?OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

It works with uvcvideo module, but you may compile it using:

aptitude install linux-uvc-source && m-a a-i linux-uvc
