27 Apr 2007 Linux på HP Compac nc8430
Her er ei samling av tips for å få min bærbare PC til å fungere tilfredsstillende i Linux, oppdateres fortløpende.
The solution is editing xorg.conf and adding “HorizSync 36-52″ and “VertRefresh 36-60″ in “Section Monitor”. Giving a startx, the desktop appears with normal resolution for the vesa driver (cannot use radeon driver on this machine).
Also, a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, even accepting all default choices, solves the problem.
Trådløs/Wireless oppsett
I Debian 4.0 (Etch) trenger man å installere følgende programvare for å få det til å fungere:
- firmware-ipw3945
- ipw3945d
- ipw3945-modules-’uname -r’
- ipw3945-source
VPN oppsett
Last ned VPN programvaren fra http://vpn.cc.uit.no og pakk den ut.
Installer av programvaren gjøres ved å kjøre vpn_install:
./vpn_install
Deretter legger du inn følgende linje i /etc/rc.local
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start
Det er ei oppdatert webside på http://fp.ath.cx/nc8430-linux-howto.html som tar for seg oppsett av 3D i Ubuntu (Compiz), Cisco VPN, wireless osv.
