Notes
|
| AMD Athlon(TM) 64 4000+ (2.4GHz/1MB l2 Cache) | Works | Pass no_timer_check to kernel at boot time, or the clock runs at 2x.
This is a problem only when processor is being used in 64-bit mode, which is what we're doing here. |
| 15.4" WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x800) Display | Works | No special procedure required during installation |
| 128MB ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/Hypermemory(TM) | Works partially | Download proprietary ATI Linux driver.
Convert to tar.gz using rpm2targz, then unpack using "tar xzf fglrx64_6_8_0-8.13.6-1.x86_64.rpm -C /".
Use the included tool fglrxconfig to generate an xorg.conf, but add a modeline for 1280x800:
Modeline "1280x800" 85.7 1280 1360 1496 1712 800 801 804 835
I have 1280x800 resolution working no trouble, but don't have direct rendering.
This isn't something I need, so I haven't looked into it at all.
I'm sure it could be made to work. |

No special procedure required during installation. Haven't tried burning anything yet. |

| 54g(TM) Integ. Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN & Bluetooth | Works | Ndiswrapper with 64-bit Broadcom proprietary Windows driver. Don't forget to enable wireless suppport in the kernel. Ndiswrapper was masked so I downloaded and installed it from source. |
