Intrepid Ibex (8.10)
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works almost out-of-the-box. You just have to blacklist the `ath_pci` module to make the WLAN card work. Everything
|
||
|
|
else seems to work fine. You might have to keep the `setkeycodes` mappings for the popup displays when changing volume
|
||
|
|
or brightness to work. The WIFI LED doesn't work with the `ath5k` module but the killswitch does.

Blank screen on bootup
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you got a blank screen after *grub*, remove any `vga=0x314` (or similar) parameter from your kernel line. Intrepid
|
||
|
|
now uses *uvesafb* which depends on *v86d* (not automatically installed!!) and seems to have some problems finding the
|
||
|
|
internal VGA card upon bootup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A small workaround has been posted at [UbuntuForums](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938874&highlight=boot+screen):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. install: *v86d* and you might want *fbset*
|
||
|
|
1. create: `/etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb` with the following content:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options uvesafb mode_option=800x600-16 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. edit: `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer` and add:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
blacklist uvesafb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. edit: `/etc/modules` and add:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
uvesafb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. run: `update-initramfs -u`
|
||
|
|
1. reboot

=======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works 99% out-of-the-box. Add `acer_wmi` to `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist` to get the `ath5k` module working. Also you
|
||
|
|
might need to install `linux-backport-modules` to make the `lbm_cw_cfg80211` accept the `regdom` option. (If you're
|
||
|
|
in Europe, you might want to add the following line to your `/etc/modprobe.d/options`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options lbm_cw_cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This sets the *regulatory domain* to **EU** which enables channels 12-14 (see [Wikipedia](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Local_Area_Network#Frequenzen_und_Kan.C3.A4le)).
|
||
|
|
The non-lbm-module doesn't like this option.

The [ArchLinux Wiki](http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One) contains several tips for tweaking a Linux

to suit the *Aspire One*. Also take a look at the [[:know-how:software:linux:start]] section on this page.
