 |
|
Hi
My gf just bought a HP/Compaq nx6110 notebook. It is very good value and loves Gentoo.
I wanted to share some stuff I stumbled over
Cheers
DaNope
Broadcom wifi BCM4306
Works good with ndiswrapper.
Correct rebooting
Add reboot=b to kernel command line
Xorg-x11 with DRI and composite
emerge xorg 6.8.99.8 and kernel 2.6.12-rc6
I had some strange behaviour with the synaptics touch pad.
It assosiated a "Tap" with the 3rd mouse button. I was able to track it down to the "TapButtonX" option.
It works for me now - however I have lost the ability to emulate the 3rd mouse button with a two finger tab.
my xorg.conf

# Example hibernate.conf file. Adapt to your own tastes.

# Run "hibernate -h" for help on the configuration items.
##############################################################################
### Choose your Suspend method. You currently have 3 choices:
###
### suspend2 Software Suspend 2 (requires kernel patches from
### http://www.suspend2.net/)
###
### sysfs_power_state Uses /sys/power/state to suspend (activates pmdisk
### on kernels < 2.6.8, or vanilla swsusp otherwise).
###
### acpi_sleep Uses /proc/acpi/sleep to activate swsusp, or other
### ACPI sleep state supported by your machine.
###
##############################################################################
### suspend2 (for Software Suspend 2)
# UseSuspend2 yes
# Reboot no
# EnableEscape yes
# DefaultConsoleLevel 1
# ImageSizeLimit 200
## useful for initrd usage:
# SuspendDevice swap:/dev/hda2
# LoadSuspendModules suspend_swap suspend_lzf suspend_text
# UnloadSuspendModulesAfterResume yes
## Powerdown method - 3 for suspend-to-RAM, 4 for ACPI S4 sleep, 5 for poweroff
#PowerdownMethod 3
## If you experience hangs on resume due to write caching, try this:
# AsyncIOLimit 128
## Any other /proc/software_suspend setting can be set like so:
# ProcSetting expected_lzf_compression 50
## Or traditionally like this:
# Suspend2AllSettings 0 0 2056 65535 5
## Or even from the results of hibernate --save-settings with this:
# Suspend2AllSettingsFile /etc/hibernate/suspend-settings.conf
## For filewriter:
# FilewriterLocation /suspend_file 1000
# VerifyFilewriterResume2 yes
### sysfs_power_state
## To use /sys/power/state to suspend your machine (which may offer
## suspend-to-RAM, suspend-to-disk, standby, etc) comment out all the options
## above for Software Suspend 2, below for acpi_sleep, and uncomment this line.
## You may replace mem with any one of the states from "cat /sys/power/state"
UseSysfsPowerState mem
#PowerdownMethod 3
### acpi_sleep
## To use ACPI to suspend your machine (via /proc/acpi/sleep), comment out
## all the options above for Software Suspend 2 and sysfs, and uncomment this
## line. The number refers to the ACPI sleep state - 3 is suspend-to-RAM and

Updates:
24/06/05: Added Option "VBERestore" to Device section in xorg.conf - solves some resume problems with X
24/06/05: Had some funny colors when using xv for video playback -> get the latest driver from dri.sf.net
07/08/05: There is still an issue with crashes after resume from s3 and xv usage. I opened a bug for that (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3861).
The bug is closed but still existant. I just don't have the time to reopen and test - anybody interested in doing that?
23/10/05: There is still a problem with the xv and resuming from s3. Please contribute under https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4353

Hi
There does not seem to be support for hue / saturation adjustement for xv in the i810 driver.
Anyone knows more about this.
Cheers

I got no touchpad mouse-pointer after resuming from hibernate. edit: i missed the alwayscore options in xorg.conf
i guess /sys/power/state mem is acpi s3, is it right? can it be better to do this with acpi in the hibernate.conf? and how much battery is needed for mem-state - i mean, how long is the time for mem-state till the laptop goes really off (because of no power).
under the windows synaptics driver, there's a virtual scrollwheel, how i can do that in linux?

I found out how to do the scrollthing:
| Code: | Option "UpDownScrolling" "on"
Option "TouchpadOff" "0" |
Now I only miss the feature which is the left-klick emulate if you tip at the touchpad. you know what I mean?
edit:
| Code: | Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton1" "1" |
I got it.
edit2: to use FN+F3 for suspend
| Code: |
emerge lineakd
nano /etc/lineakd.conf
--
# Global settings
KeyboardType = CP-NX6110
CdromDevice = /dev/cdrom
MixerDevice = /dev/mixer
# Specific keys of your keyboard
Sleep = "/usr/sbin/hibernate"
--
nano /etc/lineakkb.def
--
[CP-NX6110]
brandname = "HP Compaq"
modelname = "HP NX6110"
[KEYS]
Sleep = 223
[END KEYS]
[END CP-NX6110]
--
nano /etc/init.d/lineakd
--
#!/sbin/runscript
start() {
ebegin "Starting lineakd"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/bin/lineakd &
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping lineakd"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/bin/lineakd
eend $?
}
--
/etc/init.d/lineakd start
rc-update add lineakd default battery

The content of http://olivier.mondoloni.free.fr/indexnx6110.html has been updated.
Synaptics section completed.
Thank you for your help.

Hmm, I get the following with the synaptics driver:
| Code: |
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.3
Mouse1 no synaptics event device found (checked 14 nodes)
Mouse1 The evdev kernel module seems to be missing
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event1
No such device.
Synaptics driver unable to open device
|
What did I forget/do wrong?

You forgot the evdev kernel compilation option.

To be more precise, look at (after make menuconfig) :
device drivers -> Input device support -> evdev interface .
You have to activate evdev interface kernel compilation option to have synaptics driver correctly installed.
Don't forget to recompile your kernel before the synaptics driver installation.

If you have problems with the b44 driver, like transmit timeouts, then switching to the broadcom provided driver (gpl) can help.
Just emerge bcm4400 |

Have anyone gotten cpu scaling to work, if so what kernel, which cpu scaling driver and which scaling daemon are you using? I've been trying all sorts of combinations of these three, but cannot get it to work. Currently running hardened-sources-2.6.14-r6, p4-clockmod and cpufreqd (which doesn't even do anything since it doesn't even manage to create the required socket). I've been able to manually change govenor to powersave which lowers the cpu speed to 185 MHz, but changing to any other govenor yeilds no working results.
Please let me know if you have gotten it to work... 
Kernel config

I also have nx6110 and almost all works fine (except GLcore but this is not important now) but problems started when I try hibernate it. I used a DaNope's hibernate.conf. Now my notebook is going sleep but when I try to wake it up - system is back for few seconds and imediately power off itself.
