=== Hardware ===

This is almost the same hardware as the [[Laptop Dell Latitude D610]] (see also [[Debian Laptop]]) Differences are:

* Screen resolution of 1280x768
* IDE controller is not SATA
* Ethernet card is a Realtek RTL-8139 instead of the Broadcom
* Cardbus bridge is also TI but another one without smartcard
* Firewire
* SD and Flashmedia reader
* laptop-mode tuning:
** No ACPI AC events -> set ACPI_WITHOUT_AC_EVENTS=1 in laptop-mode.conf
** conservative governor always at max speed??? -> set BATT_CPU_GOVERNOR=ondemand in laptop-mode.conf

==== Screen ====

* Use [http://home.comcast.net/canez/d610/xorg.conf this file] in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or run by yourself dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
* Modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as follow:

<nowiki>
...
Section "Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 50-70
ModeLine "1280x768" 80.14 1280 1344 1580 1680 768 769 772 795

Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
# all the other options were for the ALPS touchpad but we have a real Synaptic touchpad
EndSection</nowiki>

==== Wireless ====

* Wireless on/off led works pretty well:
* echo "options ipw2200 led=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200

==== Multimedia keys ====

* List of keycodes: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Gentoo_on_HP_Pavillon_dv1067#Function.2FMedia_Keys_and_Remote_Control
* Works great simply with hotkey-setup and gnome-keybinding-properties

==== cd-rom ====

* Very annoying message every 2 secs when the drive is empty: ATAPI device hdb: Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02) Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
* the solution could be found [http://www.humboldt.edu/te8/misc/hpzd8230us.html here] For Debian, this becomes:

Add the following section in the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi (or another file, look for the string hald-addon-storage)

<match key="storage.bus" string="ide">
<match key="storage.model" string="TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L532M">
<match key="block.device" string="/dev/hdb">
<merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>

This has to come before

<match key="storage.media_check_enabled" bool="true">
<append key="info.addons" type="strlist">hald-addon-storage</append>
</match>

You can find the string="TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L532M" by examining the contents of the output from (as root)
