Re: XFree86 config for tibook 667
If I understand correctly we own the same laptop.
My linux experience is here:
http://cattlegrid.net/~christophe/titanium/
The remaining problems for me are:
No Suspend/Resume
No TV out and external screen
The HD never spin down (I have ext3 which keeps using the HD every 5 seconds)
Strange comportement when wireless with a few applications [1].
If you have info on these topics, please inform me.
Otherwise this laptop rocks.
NOTE 1: The strange comportement is:
With mozilla 1.0, A few sites are nearly unreachable (most of the time I
get the html but not the images) but the same sites are perfectly
reachable with other browsers (encompass, opera, ie5 under mol). Mozilla
1.2b behave better (but not perfect), it's looks like a problem
triggered by the http code.
Also with openSSH, when wireless I can slogin perfectly but most scp
fail (wait forever). The same commands work perfectly when connected to
the same network with a cable.
