Xfce4 hidden panels
screenshot

The notebook's back has a many things.
Ac plug, S-Video, 3 usb, serial, video card, parallel port, modem and Ethernet card.
It also has: floppy, 2 pcmcia slots. Cd RW/DVD reader, battery and iEEE1394.

power management:

BIOS

Phoenix bios.
Heating problems because I cannot control the fan from the kernel, the fan starts to work at 60 degrees.I made an script that controls the cpu frequency depending of the temperature.
You can get some bios updates, creating a floppy image but in windows only(.exe).
But the bios updates do not let you change nothing about the fan o wireless settings.
I tried to write the thermal trip points but it does not work.

cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
critical (S5): 100 C
passive: 85 C: tc1=4 tc2=3 tsp=100 devices=0xd3f6ef20
active[0]: 60 C: devices=0xd3f6ed00

You can change the trip points but it will not change really, the fan will always start at 60 degrees

Battery

I try always to plug the pc in the house electricity, and I unplug the battery, because it only works for 1 hour, sometimes less.

Touchpad/Mousepad

Touchpad uses synaptic driver in xorg, works perfect. I have all 4 buttons working
External usb mouse works too with usb HID driver (ps2).
Serial mouse works well with serial.

Keyboard

Gb --> look xorg.conf

Everything works well , even FnF8 and FnF9 for the brightness of the monitor. FnF6 for internal speaker on/off.
FnF3 works well to change between monitors/tv, but you must start the system with the monitor plugged, you can use atitvout too.

Key "#~" does not work by default.
I just solved the problem with  that key and multimedia keys thanks to xkeycaps, xev and xbindkeys:

just create a file called "~/.xmodmap" with this text inside and run "xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-1":

keycode 0x4E = numbersign asciitilde

and crate a file called "~/.xbindkeysrc" with this text inside to use multimedia keys and run "xbindkeys"

#my multimedia keys:

"firefox"
 m:0x0 + c:178
#this is the internet key

"thunderbird"
 m:0x0 + c:236
#this is mail key

"gmplayer"
 m:0x0 + c:162
#this is play key

"audacious"
m:0x0 + c:153
#this is forward key

"Eterm --buttonbar 0 -x --borderless --scrollbar 0"
m:0x0 + c:164
#this is stop key

"gaim"
m:0x0 + c:144
#this is rewind key

Modem

ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller
I never used it, but some linux live cds showed me that it is working.

Sound

Ali sound card working perfectly with ALSA, but not with OSS, with oss works but every 5 seconds makes an ugly noise. Jack works well too, less than 10ms of delay, normally 4-6ms.

ALSA:
M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device

ALSA device list:
  #0: ALI 5451 at 0x8800, irq 11

IEEE1394

Perfect, tested with iee1394 external HD, and with a video camera and kino.

Pcmcia

Yenta module, 32 bits, routed to pci.
Works well.
Tested with atheros pcmcia wifi card. madwifi-ng modules and ath5k modules
Tested with broadcom wifi card, ndiswrapper and new module from kernels 2.6 for broadcom cards.

Video

Ati radeon IGP 340M
Free driver "radeon" from xorg, not proprietary. Ati has no drivers for this video card. Nec has only one driver for windows.
With glxgears and with the application driconf and activating  HyperZ I get around 1460 FPS!!!! REALLY! Xorg works everyday better!
Look at  xorg.conf

Works very good with vesa, but not 3D accel with vesa.
Framebuffer works well too. Actually working in the shells. X is working with "radeon" driver.
Tv out works with FnF3 or atitvout if the tv is plugged before the system starts.

Desktop

The desktop you can see in the screenshots is gdm as login manager, xfce4 as window manager and desktop manager (xfdesktop). Xfce4 with composite, compiz works well too. I do not let thunar to start because I do not need desktop icons. As file manager I use ROX-Filler or mc.

About compiling Gentoo

This pc gets hot very easy. The external fan (USB DIY fan) will give some time of life to my little notebook, but in the price of a lot current (electricity).

ipw 2200 BG mini PCI card problems

1)Fixed  "ipw2200: Firmware error detected.  Restarting" :

When I copy big files with ssh trough ipw card I used to get that error. I read that is usual too with samba and nfs while sending big files.
Solution:  just load ipw2200 with hwcrypto=0.

$:> modprobe ipw2200 hwcrypto=0

2) Fixed hardware button ON/OFF:

$:> iwconfig eth1 txpower on
$:> ifconfig eth1 up
