Lenovo 3000 N100

Well last week my old HP laptop gave up the ghost. I used it everyday so I needed an new one. I settled on the 3000. It works pretty good. I have not had any real issues. I did have a bit of a go setting up the wireless. That was my fault as I am a rockhead, but pretty much worked out of the box once I let itl

I do have one thing that puzzles me and that is the sound card. The sound works o.k. but I only have a pcm and master control. Maybe this is the way it should be. Intel chipset. Below is what puzzles me, notice that so sound card is returned and yet the sound works. Is this correct? Should I have more than just the two mentioned controls? Is there a step I may be missing to assign a driver?

Has anyone been able to get the fingerprint reader working? I get configure errors with bioapi.

As I get deeper into my setup I may have more questions?

Thank's

This is very much like the newer thinkpads. No comments on my sound issue.

What does lspci gives you? That should find the sound card and say what model it is. You could also run lsmod to show what modules are loaded. Maybe a needed module is not loaded. It's also possible that this sound card has only 2 controls.

Snowman you are right. I checked and those show a sound card. I guess I am just being anal. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Don't know why hwd can't find it.

I would still like to get the fingerprint reader working. It is found by the system but needs a driver. I have tried to follow the instructions on thinkwiki but keep getting hung when I try to compile. Thank's for your input.

hwd uses hardware tables. If your hardware is too new, then it's not in the tables and hwd can't "find" it. lspci access the hardware directly. You could search for your card model and linux in Google. You might get a confirmation that it only has 2 controls or a solution to fix it.

What compilation errors are you getting?

spotslayer · 2006-10-25 23:26:34

This is the end of the make. I have pretty much followed the thinkwiki instructions. Almost all of what I can google is for SuSE 10 or 10.1

dal_classes.h:460: error: extra qualification 'DAL_DATABASE_INFO_LIST::' on member 'GetDBNamesAndParameters'
make[1]: *** [dal_database.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/downloads/FingerprintReader/bioapi-1.2.2/addins/dl/mds'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I have downloaded the source 3 times. Just to make sure I have a good copy.
