HP Folio¹³ - 2000

Overall Status

Legend :
= OK; = Configuration required; = Error (couldn't get it working);
= Only works with a non-free driver and/or firmware; = Unsupported (no driver)

Important Note

Make sure your BIOS is up to date: Check the installed version with dmidecode -s bios-version (as root). BIOS updates for this notebook are published at the HP Bussiness Support Center.¹

Mind the quite strange Action Keys Mode BIOS-setting: the default is <Enabled> which means that your function keys are inverted – to actually activate F1 for example you'd have to press Fn+F1, action keys (like volume up/down, brightness up/down etc.) are set to default. This behavior corresponds to the imprint on those keys. However, if you want to change this setting, press ESC at startup, F10 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility and then navigate to System Configuration.

Configuration

kernel: Since kernel update linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 (3.2.12-1) due to a ACPI PCI Hotplug issue the kernel fails to boot.²
Workaround: Hit e in grub menu to edit your preferred entry, add the kernel boot parameter pci=noacpi to line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= and press Ctrl+x to boot. If this works add the kernel boot parameter to the same line in file /etc/default/grub and run update-grub (you'll need root privileges for both actions) to make the change permanent.

Graphics

Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)
Supported by module intel. Works out of the box.

Audio

Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1c20] (rev 04)
Supported by module snd_hda_intel. Works out of the box.

Pointing device

SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (id: 0x1e2b1)
Gestures support, two-way scroll and two pick buttons work out of the box.
The on/off button in the upper left corner of the TouchPad doesn't work, neither does the LED indicator.^{3 4}

Keyboard: Action keys

Action keys that work out of the box: keyboard backlight on/off (fn+F5), previous track (fn+F6), play/pause (fn+F7), next track (fn+F8), volume down (fn+F9), volume up (fn+F10), mute (fn+F11).
Action keys that don't work for now: help (fn+F1);⁵ brightness down (fn+F2), brightness up (fn+F3), wireless on/off (fn+F12);^{6 7} switch to external monitor/projector (fn+F4).⁸

Power Management

Hibernation and sleep mode work out of the box.
The notebook doesn't go into hibernation mode when battery status is critical (even if gnome power settings say so), so when the battery reaches 0% the notebook immediately shuts down and you lose all your unsaved work.⁹ Also the lid close event (default action: suspend) is ignored.

LAN adapter

Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 06)
/ Supported by module r8169. The driver (and therefore debian installer) calls for the non-free firmware file rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw which is part of firmware-realtek. However, for me the adapter works perfectly out of the box without this proprietary software.¹⁰

Wi-Fi & Bluetooth adapter

Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 [8086:008b] (rev 34)
Supported by module iwlwifi. The adapter won't work at all unless you provide non-free firmware files by installing the firmware-iwlwifi package. The required files are: iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode and iwlwifi-6000g2b-5.ucode.

Webcam

HP TrueVision HD Webcam (1.3 MP)
Works out of the box – even the LED indicator.

Card reader

Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5209 PCI Express Card Reader [10ec:5209] (rev 01)
Supported by module rts_pstor. Works out of the box (only tested with an SD Card so far).
