Not Working Yet

These are the niggles I haven't fixed yet... Always work in progress

  1. Nothing

Audio

Audio is working - the controller uses the 12345 device, which is supported by the foo module, in kernel 2.6 and later.

The speakers are poor and really only suited to bingbong noises... use headphones for any real work.

USB

USB is working fine.

/etc/X11/XF86-Config

Never managed to save this file. I believe the driver is called "chips"

Output of dmesg

Never managed to save this output.
