Well, I built a custom 2.6.28 kernel, because of the updated ath5k driver (afaik you need to use madwifi on 2.6.26) you can use "xbacklight" to set the backlight of the lcd panel, there is only one problem, I discovered that if you start the nc10 with ac-adapter plugged in, the screen is brighter than if you start it with battery power, after booting linux on battery power you can't set the screen to the full brightness, even after you plugged in the ac-adapter.
I also haven't yet discovered a way to disable the wifi card and the webcam, they both seem to run all the time, sucking my battery power :-( Does anyone know how to disable those two? btw: there is a (minimal) howto for fedora 9 and 10 on tuxmobil.org -- http://home.ircnet.de/cru/nc10/ Dean Chester wrote: > Hi <dean.g.ches...@googlemail.com> > I am wondering if anyone has had any success with debian on the NC10 > as i recently got given one to use.
