I'm using Gentoo Linux with kernel 2.6.23
Apart from the name of the packages to be installed, this configuration
should work with different distros.
HERE is the output of
lspci command.
Configuration
files
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/usr/src/linux/.config
(for kernel
2.6.19)
/usr/src/linux/.config
(for kernel 2.6.23)
/etc/make.conf
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Dual Core
Processor: WORKING (frequency scaling, sensors
etc...)
Display
& Graphics: WORKING (3D, TV-out)
Using the xorg.conf
above, I had to install the nvidia related packages:
emerge nvidia-drivers
emerge nvidia-settings
Audio WORKING
UPDATE
(Dec 5h 2007):
mic and earphones work perfectly upgrading to kernel 2.6.23 !!
Remote Control WORKING
Pushing buttons
displays key codes in gnome keyboard shortcuts
manager.
SD/MMC
Card Reader WORKING
WebCam WORKING
Tested
with ekiga software.
I
simply installed the uvcvideo
module:
emerge
linux-uvc
Bluetooth

Wireless
WORKING
Installed
ipw3945 unstable
upackage:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
emerge ipw3945
Then I emerged
net-wireless/wireless-tools and configured
/etc/conf.d/net.eth2 in order to use iwconfig.
Remember to turn on the
switch! ;)
Suspend
Suspend to RAM works
with standard kernel sources.
UPDATE: worked disk
suspend with suspend2-sources, a patched kernel
from gentoo using suspend2.
