Dell Inspiron N5010 (简体中文)

From ArchWiki


简介

本文是写给使用使用戴尔灵越N5010计算机用户的Arch Linux配置指南

概要

To do

  • eSata test
  • HDMI test
  • Force acpi/cpufreq to work (somehow :))
  • Need someone with wikimedia syntax skills to guide me formating this wiki page, please :).

Hardware

Working

Ethernet

Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02) Works out of the box.

DVDRW

ATAPI: TSSTcorp DVD+/-RW TS-L633J, D200, max UDMA/100

CD-ROM TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L633J D200 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

Using driver: scsi3-mmc

Supported extensions:

24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

Successfully burns both cd mediums and dvd mediums, tested using K3B 2.0.2-1.

触摸板

如果使用Gnome桌面环境那么可以直接使用快捷键来控制触摸板的锁定与开启

未安装Gnome桌面环境的用户控制触摸板需要使用synaptic驱动。

需要安装软件包xf86-input-synaptics.

详细信息可以查看Touchpad Synaptics (简体中文)

Todo: Needs tweaking, cause it is too anoying.

Use this script to disable the touch pad when you do not like it:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $(synclient -l | grep TouchpadOff | gawk -F '= ' '{ print $2 }') -eq 0 ]; then
    synclient TouchpadOff=1
else
    synclient TouchpadOff=0
fi

Wireless

Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) In kernel 2.6 it works out of the box, but in kernel 3.0 there is no wlan0, we have to blacklist some modules.

So open "/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" and append the following line:

blacklist bcma

now, reboot or restart the kernel.

When we issue iwconfig, it should now list wlan0:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"*******"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.427 GHz  Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX   
          Bit Rate=72.2 Mb/s   Tx-Power=19 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-32 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:968   Missed beacon:0

Bluetooth

Both pairing, sending files and receiving files works out of the box, tested with blueman.

VGA

Tested on an external CRT monitor, works out of the box on KDE 4.7.

Graphic adapter

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5600 working out of the box.

Audio

Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio

Display

Available sizes:

1366x768       60.0*+
1280x720       59.9  
1152x768       59.8  
1024x768       59.9  
800x600        59.9  
848x480        59.7  
720x480        59.7  
640x480        59.4

Brightness controls work out of the box.

Suspending to disk (Hibernation)

works out of the box - tested on KDE 4.7

Suspending to ram (Sleep)

works out of the box - tested on KDE 4.7

Sensors

使用lm_sensors软件可以监控计算机各设备的温度,详情查看Lm_sensors (简体中文) 目前只能监测到三个设备的温度:

  • radeon-pci-0100(显卡)
  • acpitz-virtual-0
  • acpi termal zone 0 Temperature

They work out of the box. 如果想监测硬盘温度可以使用[[hddtemp

Partially Working

Troubleshoot

  • On boot the following error is printed:

boot error message:

intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled

Workaround:

Blacklist the intel_ips module, open configuration file "/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" and add:

blacklist intel_ips
