I don't like to hear that as I am also going to buy Sony notebook soon. But I 
cannot find any other notebook fulfiling my requirements:

- 13-14" widescreen LCD
- nvidia graphics
- wifi
- DVD+/-RW-DL
- 3 hours battery life (extensible by second battery)
- bluetooth, weight <2kg and docking station are also welcome.

Do you know about some alternatives to Sony Vaio S4HP? I didn't find any, 
mostly because of nvidia graphics and smaller LCD. ;o(

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Hi

I am using the one that gkrellm has also. It is light, and I dont have

KDE. Of course you need to have ACPID installed (apt-get install acpid) to see
the events. You can also check from console by browsing the /proc/acpi/

Hi Julien,
  i've read on the internet that a normal user can only accer a single 
memory slot. The other one is located under the keyboard (as in 
Powerbooks); but if anyone that is not an Acer technical access this 
slot the warranty is automatically dropped. So one's able to change the 
only accessible 256 MB slot with  512 MB or  1 GB PC2700, SoDIMM DDR new

Hi,

Firstly, thanx to answer me :)

And if i want insert a 512MB in a slot which is under the keyboard (the warranty
had ever been dropped), i'll have 768MB (256MB + 512MB) ??
In theory, my laptop can support 1024MB of RAM.

Ok, 256 MB inside + 512 MB (or 1 GB) in the "external" slot. About the 
266 or 333 MHz type it depends on your machine. I'll need the 333 MHz

Keep in mind that the speed of RAM for your laptop will be limited by your
machines FSB speed. So if your motherboard's FSB supports 100-Mhz i.e.
PC1600 i.e. 200 Mhz, then even if you put a module of 333 Mhz it would be
functioning at the speed of 200 Mhz only.

I did all this find out while upgrading RAM on my laptop. I ended up
preparing a document for all this.

http://www.researchut.com/docs/meminfo.html

See if it is of any help to you.

One thought to the previous discussion about network configuration: is it
possible with ifupdown to create some kind of cascading configurations?
What I mean is, that while being back in Boston I found out that sometimes
I can get access to some open wireless router -- the connection was really
crappy, it stopped working anytime, but when it was on, then it was
certainly much faster than my regular dial-up connection. How could I sent
my network like "use wlan0 for the Internet connection, but when it is not
available then go for eth0 (where was the server connecting us to the
Internet via modem)"?

Any ideas?

Since ACPI deprecates APM, try ACPI first.

On my ThinkPad, however, ACPI doesn't put the laptop to sleep (without
patches and other magic spells) so I'm still using APM since it works
out of the box.

I managed to get that module to load by loading another module in that

Ok, 256 MB inside + 512 MB (or 1 GB) in the "external" slot. About the
266 or 333 MHz type it depends on your machine. I'll need the 333 MHz
type, but i own a Travelmate 8005 so i don't know if it fits with yours.
You can try with dmidecode package, it will tell you under the Memory
device section.

   



Keep in mind that the speed of RAM for your laptop will be limited by your
machines FSB speed. So if your motherboard's FSB supports 100-Mhz i.e.
PC1600 i.e. 200 Mhz, then even if you put a module of 333 Mhz it would be
functioning at the speed of 200 Mhz only.

I did all this find out while upgrading RAM on my laptop. I ended up
preparing a document for all this.

See if it is of any help to you.
