I'm running a Compaq Evo n400c with Debian unstable that works pretty well. I did have to make sure I picked up the XFree 4.2 drivers, though.
A fellow down the aisle has the Compaq Evo n800v running Debian unstable. Apart from using the most recent XFree 4.2, his works pretty well, too. The winmodem is a Lucent winmodem (on both machines), so you can get drivers for it (and they work). For wireless, we're both using the wireless gizmo that attaches to the top of the case (not a PCMCIA card); I think the hp/compaq web site refers to it as a "wireless module". These are both working, too, but you have to use at least 0.14 of the linux-wlan-ng prism2_usb drivers. Hope that helps... Raul Aranda Blasco wrote:
I'm considering getting a Compaq Evo N800v and I'd like to know if anyone has tried Linux on it and how well it works. In general, I'd like to know how do Compaq Evos work with Linux. I've been searching the web but I've found no info on the subject. I'd be running Debian on it, the exact model I want to buy is the Compaq Evo N800v 15". one. Thanks
