Re: Linux laptop advice needed

Hi there,
I'd like to buy a laptop in a few weeks. I'd like to here some 
experiences on it's usability with linux. First of all there are some 
models which match my budget and the hardware I'd like to get.

 - Acer Aspire 1692WLMi
 - Acer Extensa 4101WLMi
For the first one I couldn't find any usefull information on its 
usability running linux. The second one was mentioned as a bit 
problematic.
I'd like to have accelerated 3D drivers running, e.g. battery status 
usable, acpi stuff and software suspend working. Anyone here who has 
experience with these products?
I also have a bad feeling about ati drivers, especially with x700, 
which I never used before. Are they usable e.g. for playing enemy 
territory on linux, does x work without any problems, or should I stay 
with nvidia geforce 6600?
Do those PCIe based graphic cards generally work on linux in a usable 
way or is there at least planned support for the next weeks or months?

The other product which looks interesting for me is an AOpen 1559 
Barebook because it has a geforce based graphic card and is not that 
expensive, but I can't find any information on it expect for the 
specifications. Any experience with a laptop based on it especially 
with using it on linux?
- http://solution.aopen.com.tw/products/nb/1559-AS.htm

At last I'd like to here about some suggestions on laptops for running 
linux which should match these specs:
 - Centrino, Pentium-M 1.6Gh
 - x700 or geforce 6600 graphic card
 - 512MB Ram
 - 60 GB Harddrive
 - Wlan
 - DVD +-RW
 - 15" display with reslotution higer than 1024x786

Thanks for your advice,
Dave

Sorry, I didn't have standby working either. I have no need for 
standby/suspend as the computer is always online... in fact I'm using it 
as a server ;)

Re: Install Debian No CDROM, USB Floppy and Wireless Card

Hi
I just got an old Toshiba Libretto L1 from Japan, that has no CDrom, 
nor LAN.
I have a Netgear 401 card that works fine with Debian, at least when I 
do a
CD install with Sarge, from the 110MB install CD, it detects my Card as
Orinoco just fine and I can do a Network install.

Now, I am asking if I can do the same booting from the Debian 
floppies? I do
not have a USB CDrom, just a USB Floppy. Is it possible anyway to boot 
from a
USB floppy?
Years ago I installed Debian on a Libretto 100CT (and it's still going 
strong; puny it may be but it runs my home network - DHCP, DNS, web 
server, mail server, squid...) I have just found an old document where 
I described how I installed Debian on it.  Bear in mind this is *very* 
old - I think it refers to Debian 2.0, but a similar procedure should 
still work these days.

http://www.thecutts.org/debian/Linux-on-Libretto.html
Actually, having just re-read that, most of that information is 
probably not relevant to the model of libretto you have, but still.  
Oh, and it doesn't mention the 8GB hard disk gotcha - when I upgraded 
the machine's drive to 12 GB, I found that because the BIOS still 
thought it was 8 GB, the hardware suspend-to-disk routine required 
unpartitioned space at the end of the bottom 8GB of the disk.  I 
calculated that wrong the first time, and trashed the system.  :-)

Oh, and the PCMCIA floppy driver mentioned only works with 2.2 kernels. 
 :-)

Wireless network adapter

[Long Li]

Hi,

I have two wireless PCMCIA network adapters, one is
Trendnet TEW-221PC, another is Linksys wireless B
(model No.: WPC11 v.4), but when I insert anyone to my
laptop, there is no response (they works well in
WindowsXP).

The pcmcia_core module have been loaded, need some
other drivers be loaded?  If yes, could you tell me
the module name?  I also wonder if there are some
other packages need to be installed.  By the way, I
use the kernel 2.6.8 and "testing" release.

Bests,
Long

Re: Wireless network adapter

[Nelson Murilo]

Hi Long,

Linksys WPC11 use prism2 chipset, so if you have kernel pcmcia 
support it´s can works with orinoco_cs module. 
About Trendnet, please check at vendor site:
http://www.trendnet.com/en/support/linux.htm

I hope this help,

You'll definately need the package wireless-tools. This gives you the
program iwconfig which you need to set the correct SSID, channel and/or
WEP key. You'll maybe want to install waproamd and ifplugd as well.

Re: Install Debian No CDROM, USB Floppy and Wireless Card

[Benedek Frank]

Hi

Thanks for your info and help. In the meantime I got my Libretto working fine, 
what I did I put the harddrive into another laptop. installed the base 
system, put the hdd back to the Toshiba, and did the net install of sarge. 
What was tricky is that with the 2.4 kernel, the PCMCIA did not get an IRQ. 
That is why I was unable to install from the boot floppies Debian supplies, 
because they have a 2.4.27 kernel. Once I installed a 2.6.8 kernel from 
another laptop with Debian Sarge RC2 installer, it worked fine, and I could 
make the Prism based card work in the PCMCIA slot, and pulled all the rest of 
the distro from the NET.

Thanks for the help, and I am already making a Document on how to install 
Sarge on the Libretto, so soon it will be listed on tuxmobil.org

Cheers

Bence
