[edit] ATI Radeon Xpress 200M

Working with properitary drivers (ati-drivers) and radeon. 3d support not jet tested

[edit] Broadcom Corporation BCM4318

Working with generic kernel and unencrypted connections (ndis wrap should solve the problem, not jet tested).

[edit] SB450 HDA Audio device

Tried it as described in the gentoo handbook/alsa-guide. Intel HDA sould be the right driver.

File: /etc/modules.d/alsa 
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 single_cmd=1 model=3stack

alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-15 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel


Doesn't work very well, jet. It overmodulates all the time even when setting pcm to 8:8 in alsamixer so that the rest of the sound is much to silent. Can't play sound with mpg123 -a /dev/dsp music.mp3 saying Cound not open NAS server dev/dsp

[edit] Touchpad

Follow the Touchpad guide and everything will work fine (including tapping, drag&drop, horizontal/vertical scrolling). Be sure to select auto-dev as protocol otherwise realtime configuration won't work. This is the configuration i'm currently using:

File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Standard Layout"
	Screen		0	"Standard Screen"	0	0
	InputDevice	"Standard Mouse"	"CorePointer"
	InputDevice	"TouchPad"		"AlwaysCore"
	InputDevice	"Standard Keyboard"	"CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

...
