<p>Ajoshi: /* Intel: */</p> <hr /> <div>===Opening Notes:===<br /> <br /> 1) This is written for Tribe 2, as development moves forward many of the items listed here will (hopefully) no longer be necessary or no longer apply.<br /> <br /> 2) Use the Alternative Installer, the Desktop installer installs but fails to boot<br /> <br /> 3) The system is not incredibly stable, things crash at least once per session so if you are look for stability stay with Feisty. ***This has changed lately and things are a lot more stable, disabling Compiz helped and most the random crashes seemed to have cleared up the past week.***<br /> <br /> ===Hard Disk Controller===<br /> When the system boots hit F1 to enter the Bios, select Config-&gt;Serial ATA (SATA) and set the SATA Controller mode option to &quot;Compatibility&quot;.<br /> <br /> ===Video:===<br /> <br /> ====Intel:====<br /> Must install using the alternate CD or the regular CD and hit F4 to change VGA settings to 1024x768x32 and use regular install.<br /> <br /> Intel GMX3100 worked flawlessly at 1200x1024 resolution. Have not yet tried the higher resolution.<br /> <br /> ====Nvidia:====<br /> <br /> X will fail to start for users running Nvidia cards.

Login and type:<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop}}<br /> <br /> Then type:<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|cd Desktop}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run}} <br /> <br /> If the file you download is newer that 100.14.11 make sure you modify the command appropriately<br /> <br /> Reboot: <br /> {{cmdroot|sudo shutdown -r now}}<br /> <br /> After Rebooting Gnome should start normally<br /> <br /> {{NOTE|With each new Kernel release this process must be repeated}}<br /> <br /> ===Wireless:===<br /> <br /> The Atheros card should be supported by the drivers built into Gutsy.<br /> <br /> {{HELP|Can someone with an Atheros card confirm this?}}<br /> <br /> The Intel a/b/g/n (IPW4965) card requires the iwlwifi drivers from Intel:<br /> <br /> {{NOTE|As the release process moves forward the Kernel will be updated so make sure to update the paths below}}<br /> <br /> {{NOTE|With each new Kernel release this process must be repeated}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|mkdir wireless}}<br /> {{cmdroot|cd wireless}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/mac80211/downloads/mac80211-8.0.1.tgz}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|tar xzf mac80211-8.0.1.tgz}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|cd mac80211-8.0.1.tgz}}<br /> {{cmdroot|sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-7 /lib/modules/2.6.22-7-generic/source}}<br /> {{cmdroot|sudo make patch_kernel}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-0.0.34.tgz}}<br /> {{cmdroot|tar xzf iwlwifi-0.0.34.tgz}}<br /> {{cmdroot|cd ../iwlwifi-0.0.34/}}<br /> {{cmdroot|make}}<br /> {{cmdroot|sudo make install}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.15.tgz}}<br /> {{cmdroot|tar xzf iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.15.tgz}}<br /> {{cmdroot|sudo cp ../iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.15/iwlwifi-4965.ucode}}<br /> {{cmdroot|/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965.ucode}}<br /> <br /> {{cmdroot|sudo modprobe iwl4965}}<br /> <br /> ===Audio:===<br /> <br /> Audio does not work out of the box, download and install the latest version of Alsa from CVS using the instructions here:<br /> https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=SourceCodeRepository<br /> <br /> <br /> {{T61}}</div>
