Re: Sound on ASUS A1000

[Anderw Davies <disable@ihug.co.nz>]

Hi i have the model laptop and i know that the modem will work under Linux 
:) i have not achieved it my self yet but I have read that it will work 
with the driver provided by Motorola, its a SM56 PCI  modem

have a look at http://www.retepnet.it/alfmar/pxnsoa.html


as for the sound indicator its done by the software that is installed on 
windoz. The mute its also a software thing if i am correct as it interacts 
with the windoz sound and does not over ride it, it just sets the sound on 
windoz to mute it does not turn off the speakers like other laptops that i 
have had in the past
