hmm... so write it manualy?
eg. Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "6"

I'm gonna try it...Thanks for your advice...:)

@Tera: I can't use splashy on your kernel...:( Have you tried it? I've tried it last night and I had only luck on using the stock kernel...I've already followed the tip given by Zom...:( It would be helpful if you could give me some tips...Thanks in advance

@kTT: Please post your xorg.conf since you've managed to enable the Two finger scrolling...:) Thanks

@froli: There's no built-in bluetooth on AAO. You need an usb adaptor.

@Tera: Get something like this http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12696. Deploy and forget. I am using such solution myself as well. Not the same exact model as on the link, but similar exactly the same size.

Very funny, guys. But I just asked about what software to use and how to configure it right

pacman -S bluez
hciconfig hci0 up

At this point the Bluetooth adapter should be "up". How to "configure it" really depends on what you want to do with it. I use mine with Bluetooth mouse and sometimes pair it with my mobile phone.

EDIT: Some chipsets may need you to reset them before they work correctly. If I recall correctly the command was simply hciconfig hci0 reset.

I'm not using splashy myself so I can't help. If you find a solution, let me know.

I may be a little off topic here but it may help when testing performance. I made a lightweight version of Nexuiz that can run on the AAO - I get 29fps average. Find it here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=531660

To run a benchmark, issue: tdem demos/demo1.dem

If you want to try the native resolution instead of 480x640, issue: vid_width 1024; vid_height 600; vid_restart

I've always found this a very useful benchmark when tweaking stuff as it loads the entire system. It's certainly a better test than glxgears & it's also fun to play.

MarCustomized · 2009-04-08 23:39:24

kTT, which version of xf86-input-synaptics are you using?

this one from testing, so 1.1.0-1

There's no built-in bluetooth on AAO. You need an usb adaptor.

Actually there is on mine.

By the way, I just got my AAO last week and this thread and the wiki were invaluable, so thanks to all you guys on making my first Arch experience a very smooth one. Anyway, mine does have built in bluetooth.

I got bluez-gnome from pacman and then
hciconfig hci0 up

To get info on the device:
hciconfig -a hci0

Haven't got as far as pairing anything yet though.

@Chokkan: I assume you have a newer model of the AA1, I've already seen new models here on our local shops..:) Mine has no built in bluetooth as well...

@Tera: What hooks do I need for your kernel?
My hooks at the moment are (from the stock kernel):

HOOKS="base udev 915resolution v86d autodetect pata scsi sata resume filesystems splashy"

What should I remove or I do not need on your custom kernel?:) Thanks in advance

Hmmm yesterday i've installed stock kernel 2.6.29, but now acerhdf doesn't seem to work anymore. Ten seconds after booting the fan starts spinning, never to stop again. Any way to fix this?

schuay · 2009-04-11 11:32:37

another new model , this time with an 11.6" screen, a higher resolution and 8 hrs battery life:

official announcement:
http://us.acer.com/acer/news_detail.do? … 3360407669

some pictures:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acer … oes-legit/

apparently the resolution is 1,366 x 768:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2344636,00.asp

looking good.. thinking about getting one if the price is right. (ideally sub-400 euros)

You just have to delete the old binary and recompile it.

kTT, I love you.

CONFIRMATION: 2 finger scrolling works with today's xf86-input-synaptics update!

I'm using the stock kernel right now, since suspend is broken for me anyways. You did remember to re-run 'mkinitcpio -p kernel-one-dev' if you updated your kernel, right?

MarCustomized · 2009-04-12 00:48:35

Fuck yeh! KMS works too! [with stock kernel]

Yep Zom, I did that as well...Maybe the kernel does not support it? Well that's just my opinion.

i received my 6600mAh battery today, i have about 8 hours with wifi/updating/bla now so very nice one! just wanted to mention it ^^

Wow a 9cell!!!That's pricey...:D I'm kinda jealous...:P

ahaslam · 2009-04-13 00:33:12

Upgraded my rigs today & the AAO doesn't seem to like the new Intel/mesa driver. 2D is fine & the results from glxgears are better than ever, 3D games are no good tho. Nexuiz & FreedroidRPG both quit when passing the initial menus. Nexuiz quits with nothing more than a segfault & freedriod gives:

video mode set (bpp=32 RGBA=8888 depth=24)
-OpenGL-------------------------------------------------------
Vendor     : Tungsten Graphics, Inc
Renderer   : Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GME GEM 20090326 2009Q1 RC2 x86/MMX/SSE2
Version    : 1.4 Mesa 7.4

freedroidRPG: intel_tex_image.c:355: intelTexImage: Assertion `texImage->RowStride == postConvWidth' failed.

I've tried various accel methods, kms & the legacy driver, all with the above result. The vesa driver works, tho that's of little use.

Any ideas?

Have you tried it with KMS enabled and no xorg.conf?

ahaslam · 2009-04-13 01:44:08

Yep, I'd heard people recommend that for other reasons & gave it a shot - same problem.

Have you (or anyone here) tried one of those games?

PS, That combination is the worst looking & performing here & I get a blank screen when trying it with the default kernel. Currently using 2.6.29rc8 (the only non-standard component).

kaola_linux · 2009-04-13 07:03:16

I'm also using kms on the stock kernel atm, no huge performance gain. But the switching to virtual console and the proper framebuffer was a nice feature...:D I have no xorg.conf as well.

@ahaslam: Haven't tried those games you've mentioned, I had only tried supertuxkart on my AA1. The performance is a bit laggy especially when there will be alot of racers..:)

sargon · 2009-04-13 22:11:22

Hello There,

i am using the kernel26-one-dev with kms and fastboot enabled and it is great

But, with the 2.6.28 kernel26-one kernel based suspending and hibernating runs fine, with the 2.6.29 its pain and just not running, i have rebuild the one-dev with pm trace/debug support and get this magic lines:

[ 5.201485] Magic number: 5:142:441
[ 5.201573] pcieport-driver 0000:00:1c.2: hash matches

i have tried any combination of module unloading etc. but nothing works for me.
When I run pm-suspend the system just ends to react but kernel reacts on caps-lock test.

any tips what i could try

Tera mentioned about how he had enabled the latest version of his kernel to do suspend and hibernate...It was on the last part of the 1st thread...I had the second to latest build of his kernel and the suspend and hibernate works out of the box...:)
