[edit] Not tested hardware

Folowing list contain hardware that was not tested for many reason (mostly I do not have extarnal devices for test it)

Hardware Description
Express Card Dunno if even kernel has support for it - strohel: Yes. They are either Normal PCI Express cards with hotplug support or ordinary USB devices. See ExpressCard
Firewire I do not have camera or something like this to test it. But it should not be problem. On my previous notebook it works without any problems.
Modem Sorry but I have internet connection via cabel modem. So untested.
PCI Express Integrate graphics card is enought for me, but others models may have external grpahics card inside. But it should works without any problems.

[edit] Instalation

This part describe what you need to do to sucessfuly install all hardware fetures.

[edit] Kernel version

To be able suspend notebook to disk or to ram you need use Software suspend 2 kernel in minimal version 2.6.19-r1 (2.6.19 may work too). To install Software suspend 2 kernel do: 

# echo "sys-kernel/suspend2-sources" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge suspend2-sources
Warning: Do not use kernel in version lesser to 2.6.19. SATA-AHCI driver in those kernels does not support suspend/resume.

[edit] CPU and SpeedStep

Intel Centrinu Duo is dual core processor cabable of Intel Enhanced Speed Step technology. To activate support for this processor set folowing settings in kernel:

Linux Kernel Configuration: Processor type and features 
[*] Symmetric multi-processing support
Subarchitecture Type (PC-compatible)  --->
Processor family (Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/Xeon)  --->
(2) Maximum number of CPUs (2-255)
[ ] SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support
[*] Multi-core scheduler support
Linux Kernel Configuration: CPU Frequency scaling 
[*] CPU Frequency scaling
[*]   Enable CPUfreq debugging
<*>   CPU frequency translation statistics
      Default CPUFreq governor (performance)  --->
<*>   'ondemand' cpufreq policy governor
---   CPUFreq processor drivers
<*>   Intel Enhanced SpeedStep
[*]     Use ACPI tables to decode valid frequency/voltage pairs
[*]     Built-in tables for Banias CPUs

Install cpufrequtils to activate ondemand policy at boot time. 

# emerge  sys-power/cpufrequtils
# rc-update add cpufrequtils boot
File: /etc/conf.d/cpufrequtils

Edit file /etc/conf.d/cpufrequtils and set (if already not) ondemand governorn. 

 GOVERNOR="ondemand"
Note: You may use userspace governor and then install some userspace deamon to control notebook cpu clock. But ondemand governorn works fine for me for long time.

[edit] HPET

To be able use HPET (recomended for tickless kernel) you need bios update. Bios version 1.2 works fine for me. The update can be found at Fujitsu-Siemens download page

[edit] Graphics card

[edit] Kernel

For graphics card support you need compile drivers in kernel:

Linux Kernel Configuration: Character devices 
--- /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
---   Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
<M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
<M>   Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
<M>     i915 driver
Linux Kernel Configuration: Graphics support 
[*] Enable firmware EDID
<*> Support for frame buffer devices
<*> Intel 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/945G support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*]   DDC/I2C for Intel framebuffer support
Warning: Do not activate VESA VGA graphics support in that case suspend will not work!!!

[edit] Grub

Edit grub menu file and add video=intelfb,mode=1280x800@60 as kernel parameter.

Note: Even if I set mode to 1280x800 resolution does not want switch, anybody known why?
Note: Such a mode needs the video bios hack provided by 915resolution to work. Therefore it must be set after userspace.

[edit] Xorg

Tell portage to compile i810 drivers when compile xorg. To do that do: 

# echo "VIDEO_CARDS=\"i810\"" >> /etc/make.conf

Type 

# emerge --oneshot xorg-server

if you have already xorg installed, or type 

# emerge xorg-x11

for new installation of xorg-x11.

Note: As of xf86-video-intel (xf86-video-i810 in portage) version 2.0.0 (currently testing), all these 915resolution hacks and modeline editing in xorg.conf are not needed! See this post on dsd's blog
Warning: BIG FAT WARNING: Currently (xf86-video-i810 2.0.0 - 2.1.1) the i810 driver DOES NOT SUPPORT Monitor switching via Fn +F3. So use an older Version (xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 recommended), if you want to use this feature!
Note: xf86-video-i810-2.1.1 works fine for me. Fn + F3 does not work, but you can switch monitor output using xrandr application.

This graphics card need card firmware update to be able start xserver with 1280x800 resultion. To do this emerge 915resolution program. 

# emerge sys-apps/915resolution
# rc-update add 915resolution default

Edit /etc/conf.d/915resolution and set resultion hack. File should look like:

File: /etc/conf.d/915resolution 
replace=( "38 1280 800" )
log="/var/log/915resolution"


Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf relevant section should look like:

File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        Option          "DPMS"
        Modeline "1280x800_60.00"  83.46  1280 1344 1480 1680  800 801 804 828  -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "i810"
        VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
        BoardName   "Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
        VideoRam        32768
        Option          "DRI"           "true"
        Option          "XVideo"        "true"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Virtual 1280 800
                Modes   "38"
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode        0666
EndSection

Start X server. Acceleration should now work.

[edit] Sound card

Sound card is little problem here. Conexant 5045 is maybe relativly new chip but drivers are in development now. But now sound card particaly works.

You need compile external drivers as describe here. Set kernel to following options:

Linux Kernel Configuration: Sound 
<M> Sound card support
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  --->
Open Sound System  --->
Linux Kernel Configuration: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture 
< > Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
Linux Kernel Configuration: Open Sound System 
< > Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)

Then install alsa library and drivers.

Note: Alsa drivers version 1.0.13 has very bad support of sound card. You need at least version 1.0.14-rc1 to be able hear sound without big problems.
# echo "media-sound/alsa-driver" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "media-sound/alsa-headers" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "media-libs/alsa-lib" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "media-sound/alsa-utils" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "ALSA_CARDS=\"hda-intel\"" >> /etc/make.conf
# emerge media-sound/alsa-driver media-sound/alsa-utils
# rc-update add alsasound boot
# alsaconf

After configurating sound card you will need update /etc/modules.d/alsa. Type: 

# echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop single_cmd=1 enable_msi=1" >> /etc/modules.d/alsa
# modules-update -f
# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart

Now when you execute alsamixer and set master volume you should be able hear sound.

Warning: Option single_cmd passed to module is very important, without it you will not hear sound from your headphone.
Warning: Mute does not works :( . You have to set volume to zero to mute your sound card
Note: I did not test microphone yet, but it should not be problem.

Drivers for this sound card is still in development and I hope in short future we will see better support for this sound card.

[edit] Network

Network works very well on this notebook, without problem (except one with wifi, but solved). So letc look on this

[edit] Wired

Notebook containt standart Intel PRO/100 VE 10/100Mbs ethernet card so lets enable it in kernel.

Linux Kernel Configuration: Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) 
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
<*>   Generic Media Independent Interface device support
[*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers
<M>   Intel(R) PRO/100+ support

Now modprobe module when booting and create symlink 

# echo "e100" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

It is good idea to use netplug or ifplugd ( I am using netplug ). Alse you probably will need dhcp client. Very good is also use apipa (Automatic Private IP Addressing). 

# emerge sys-apps/netplug net-misc/dhcpcd net-analyzer/arping

Now edit /etc/conf.d/net.

File: /etc/conf.d/net 
modules=( "ifconfig" )
plug_timeout="15"
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
fallback_eth0=( "apipa" )
Note: If you want have static IP look to /etc/conf.d/net.example how to do it

Now just restart interface and all should be ok. When you unplug your ethernet cable netplug will take care of shut down you interface. When you plugin the ethernet cable interface will go automaticaly go up and run dhcp client. 

# rc-update add net.eth0 default
# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

[edit] Wifi

Wifi card works very well except one exception. It needs drivers with version at least 1.1.3. Currently marked stable version 1.0.5 is unstable for me.

First you will need activate support for wireless extension in kernel.

Linux Kernel Configuration: Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) 
[*] Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions
Linux Kernel Configuration: Cryptographic options 
<M>   ARC4 cipher algorithm
<M>   Michael MIC keyed digest algorithm

# echo "net-wireless/ipw3945" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "net-wireless/ipw3945d" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "net-wireless/ieee80211" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# 
# emerge net-wireless/ipw3945
Note: Befora portage will want to emerge ieee80211 package, it may happend that it will tell you something like "Your kernel source contains an incompatible version ...." Do not hasitate and do what portage tells you.

Add ipw3945d service to start at boot time and start service. 

# rc-update add ipw3945d default
# /etc/init.d/ipw3945d start

Now when you activate wifi card (Fn + F2) blue led will start blinking indicate that wifi is avaible. Use your the most like method how to connect to wireless network. I am using program called wifi-radar.

[edit] BlueTooth

Bluetooth need very little configuration. First activate it in kernel:

Linux Kernel Configuration: Networking 
--- Networking support 
<M>   Bluetooth subsystem support  --->
Linux Kernel Configuration: Bluetooth subsystem support 
--- Bluetooth subsystem support
<M>   L2CAP protocol support
<M>   SCO links support
<M>   RFCOMM protocol support
[*]     RFCOMM TTY support
<M>   BNEP protocol support
[*]     Multicast filter support
[*]     Protocol filter support
<M>   HIDP protocol support
Bluetooth device drivers  --->
Linux Kernel Configuration: Bluetooth device drivers 
<M> HCI USB driver

Now autoload bluetooth module at boot time. So bluetooth service may be started afterwards. 

# echo "bluetooth" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Install bluez library: 

# emerge net-wireless/bluez-utils
# rc-update add bluetooth default

Edit files /etc/conf.d/bluetooth, /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and /etc/bluetooth/pin as you like.

I am using KDE so as frontend I use kdebluetooth. 

# emerge net-wireless/kdebluetooth

When activating bluetotoh by pressing Fn + Esc blue diod should start blinking and KDE will notice you that bluetooth adapter is found. Enjoy it.

[edit] ACPI

ACPI works well on this notebook. Battery, ac adapter, buttons, cpu status all work fine. Activate following options to activate ACPI.

Linux Kernel Configuration: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support 
[*] ACPI Support
[*]   Sleep States
[ ]     /proc/acpi/sleep (deprecated)
<*>   AC Adapter
<*>   Battery
<*>   Button
<*>   Video
<*>   Generic Hotkey (EXPERIMENTAL)
< >   Fan
< >   Dock
<*>   Processor
<*>     Thermal Zone
Note: Fan is not neccessary because there is not information about FAN after activation of this options

Install acpid deamon for reaction on ACPI event. 

# emerge sys-power/acpid
# rc-update add acpid default

[edit] Software suspend

I was able to sucessfuly hibernate notebook into disk and ram.

Added: Suspend to disk works best with BIOS 1.10. With the newer versions, the touchpad stop functioning after resuming. (external usb-mouse works though)

[edit] Kernel

You need Software Suspend 2 kernel in minimal version 2.6.19-r1 (2.6.19 may work too). Set kernel options as follow:

Linux Kernel Configuration: Suspend2 
--- Suspend2
---   Image Storage (you need at least one allocator)
[ ]   File Allocator
[*]   Swap Allocator
---   General Options
(/dev/sda2) Default resume device name
[ ]   Allow Keep Image Mode
[*]   Replace swsusp by default
Linux Kernel Configuration: Cryptographic options 
--- Cryptographic API
<*>   LZF compression algorithm
Note: I am using swap allocator, but you try file allocator it should also work

[edit] Hibernate script

Install hibernate script that will help us suspend computer. 

# emerge sys-power/hibernate-script
# rc-update add hibernate-cleanup boot

Because graphics card need update bios to support 1280x800 resultion, we need add script that help us set this in resume operation.

Download helper script I915 script from Suspend2 wiki page and save it as /etc/hibernate/scriptlets.d/I915 Run: 

# chmod a+x /etc/hibernate/scriptlets.d/I915
Note: I have never find if this script should be runnable or not, so I set it as runnable and did not care
File: /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf

Edit file /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf and activate I915 scriptlet. Leave all at is it but before Include direction add I915 direction, so it looks like 

 ...
 EnableI915Hack 1
 Include common.conf
 ...
Note: See Graphical Card section about more information how to setup kernel so hibernation is possible.
Note: I also use kded scriptlet from same page. Dunno if its realy necessary.
File: /etc/hibernate/common.conf

Edit /etc/hibernate/common.conf and uncomment folowing lines. 

 Distribution gentoo
 UnloadBlacklistedModules yes
 LoadModules auto
 DownInterfaces eth0 eth1
 UpInterfaces auto
 RestartServices laptop_mode
 SwitchToTextMode yes
File: /etc/hibernate/ram.conf

Edit /etc/hibernate/ram.conf and comment folowing lines. 

 #EnableVbetool yes
 #VbetoolPost yes

[edit] Grub

File: /boot/grub/grub/conf

Edit grub config file. We need to tell kernel where it have suspend partition and need add some acpi hack for graphics card. Add resume2 and acpi_sleep options. Grub options will look like: 

 title Gentoo 2.6.19-r1 Suspend2
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /kernel-2.6.19-r1-suspend root=/dev/sda3 resume2=swap:/dev/sda2 video=intelfb,mode=1280x800@60 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode

[edit] Finalization

Restart computer, because kernel need to be booted with resume2 and acpi_sleep options set before we try hibernate.

After restarting try run: 

# hibernate

to suspend on disk, or 

# hibernate-ram

to suspend on ram.

[edit] Hibernate on ACPI event

Good things is to hibernate to ram if notebook is closed. Also when you pressed power-off button instead of shut-down computer hibernate them.

File: /etc/acpi/default.sh

Edit acpid default script to run hibernate or hibernate-ram command depend on event. Result should look like: 

....
case "$group" in
        button)
                case "$action" in
                        power)
                                #/sbin/init 0
                                hibernate
                                ;;

                        # if your laptop doesnt turn on/off the display via hardware
                        # switch and instead just generates an acpi event, you can force
                        # X to turn off the display via dpms.  note you will have to run
                        # 'xhost +local:0' so root can access the X DISPLAY.
                        lid)
                                #xset dpms force off
                                hibernate-ram
                                ;;

                        *)      log_unhandled $* ;;
                esac
                ;;

        ac_adapter)
 ....
Note: I known lid event should be handled in /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh, but who care ;)

Run: 

# /etc/init.d/acpid reload

Now close the lid and notebook should hibernate. Open the lid and notebook should resume. Click on power-off button and notebook will hibernate.
