[edit] Hardware Support
- Input Devices
- Keyboard works fine except for function keys. Screen brightness changes work, however shortcut buttons and volume controls do not.
- Touchpad works using standard mouse drivers. synaptics package from portage allows fine tuning of the touchpad settings and requires the event interface driver in the kernel
- Drives and Storage
- Hard Drive controller works using VIA82CXXX IDE driver in the kernel.
- CDRW/DVD controller works using standard kernel drivers. It has been successfully used to play DVDs, and write CDs using K3b
- Graphics Chip
- Works acceptably with vesa driver. Fullscreen video a bit jerky though. Much smoother although tempramental with the 'via driver. The latter worked fine in Xorg 6.9 but in the modular Xorg 7.0 I have had to use the vesa driver.
- Network Card
- Works great using the via rhine driver in the kernel.
- CPU Frequency Scaling
- Works using kernel drivers for PowerNow!
- Sound Chip
- Works under alsa using the VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller driver in the kernel, under PCI sound cards.
- Untested Devices
- Firewire
- Modem (I think it is a WinModem)
- Other Devices
- Some 1350 range laptops come with integrated Bluetooth and/or Wireless Networking. The model I have used does not have these features so I cannot test them.
