1 x Modem port (56K ITU V.92 with PTT approval, Wake-on-Ring ready)

4 x USB 2.0 ports

1 x IEEE 1394 FireWire

1 x External display (VGA) port

1 x S-Video/TV-out port

1 x Type II PC Card slot + 1 x Express Card /54 slot

1 x line-in jack

1 x Microphone-in jack + 1 x Headphones/speaker/line-out jack

The parameters depend on the submodel.

# Kernel

The default kernel runs fine, x86_64 and i686.

# CPU

CPU physically doesn't support SpeedStep or hardware virtualisation. 64 bit is supported.

# Graphics

Works fine with xf86-video-intel

    # pacman -S xf86-video-intel

With a little work, Compiz Fusion works relatively well. I think I needed to install libgl-dri and do a lot of the steps listed in the troubleshooting section of the wiki.

    # pacman -S libgl-dri

# Touchpad

Install the synaptics package and enable in xorg.conf as demonstrated below or in wiki page.

    # pacman -S synaptics

# Card Reader

Working, but only tested with SD cards. Requires at least tifm_sd module (perhaps tifm_7xx1, tifm_core and others for other card types if not automatically loaded). Either add to /etc/rc.conf or modprobe, card should be autodetected and mounted if HAL is going correctly.

    # modprobe tifm_sd

# DVD

Didn't require any manual configuration, works fine using default install options. Drive supposedly supports LightScribe, haven't attempted to configure.

# Webcam

Requires installation of linux-uvc-svn and group membership to "video"

    # pacman -S linux-uvc-svn
    # modprobe uvcvideo

# Sound

Ensure snd-hda-intel module is loaded and add this to your /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:

    options snd-hda-intel model=acer

Worked with the 2GB RAM/160GB HDD/Intel Celeron M-540 model and that described at the top.

# Networking

## LAN

Works fine with no configuration required.

## WLAN

b43 module works fine and is probably most recommended with up to date kernel version. bcm43xx and ndiswrapper both confirmed to work by Lastebil and OzMick but are probably best used only as alternatives when b43 doesn't. Connection using b43 is stronger and significantly more reliable than with ndiswrapper.

Consult the wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#b43

# Firewire

Works fine. To control playback and download from MiniDV camcorder, simply had to install Kino, modprobe raw1394 and run Kino as root, refer to Kino usage manual. One could alternatively change permissions on relevant device nodes for a cleaner non-root solution.

    # pacman -S kino
    # modprobe raw1394

# Untested

- Modem
- VGA port (Definitely should work; tested on Ubuntu/GNOME)
- S-Video/TV-out port
- Type II PC Card slot + 1 x Express Card /54 slot
