Summary: Most things work, few things require external drivers.

This laptop is running Debian etch.

Hardware

Working

  • Suspend to ram works with the uswsusp package in Debian, the command to run is: s2ram -f -p -s
    Hopefully this will be integrated in later versions of uswsusp.

External Drivers

The wireless network is the RaLink? RT61, it has an open-source driver which is being worked on by volunteers. The driver to use is the CVS snapshot at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz

Status Unknown

  • Modem, I don't have any need for it, but I assume it's a soft-modem that is unlikely to work in Linux.
  • Card Reader, no card to try with it.

Not working

  • Temperature reading, the default reading is fixed on 75 degrees celsius. This is an issue with the BIOS and can be fixed by hacking the DSDT in Linux.
  • Audio, It is detected but I have no sound.
  • Lid open/close is not acted upon.
