Kubuntu Install:
Processor:
In order to get both cores, install linux-image-2.6.15-23-686 for SMP.Screen/Display:
Power Management:
Battery detected, monitor dim/blank, function keys for screen control function correctly.
Battery life with 9 cell ~3:40 on full charge.
Suspend
to Ram (Standby):
Does not work. Appears to sleep, but on wake-up, screen does not turn
back on – no backlight. capslock, numberlock leds respond,
but
screen won't wake up. At one point this worked for half a day. Can't
tell you why or what broke.
Solution: Install 2.6.15-25 kernel (and all associated 2.6.15-25 packages.) It works just fine now.
Suspend
to Disk
(Hibernate): Does not work. On restore, system boots as normal
without swap. Seems that the image is being written, but image (and
swap) is not being recognized as image on boot.
Solution: add the line:
resume=/dev/sda5
where /dev/sda5 would be replaced by your very own swap partition) to your default boot line, so it looks like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-686
root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash resume=/dev/sda
and it should be good to go.
Sound:
and
then set up a
script in .kde/Autostart:
#!/bin/bash
xmodmap
/home/figura/bin/hotkeys
Last, do an apt-get install xmms-xf86audio. Presto. Of course, I like xmms, so that's not a problem for me.
