RE: fedora and notebooks?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I run FC8 (previously ran FC7) on five different laptops. Two are older HP5340s POS, two are Dells with model numbers I can't remember, and one is a Dell Precision M50. Everything I have tried functions on all of them (the last Dell I listed even works wirelessly with its built in Wifi without loading anything extra).

I have never tried the modem on any of them.

I'm on an HP dv6565us right now.  Everything works except the modem.
AGPGART under Xen doesn't work either.  Note that the webcam requires
the v4l2 driver and the sound card requires Alsa 1.0.15.  The touchpad
works as does a USB mouse (they work together...use either or both).

You probably will want to run syndaemon and desensitize the "touch to
click" bit of the touchpad.  Without it, hitting the spacebar and
touching the pad with the heel of your hand will send the pointer
flying!
