Not really as far as I know. I got pciehp modprobed and just reinsert the card every time that happens. Though, that won't work for home since it's supposed to be mounted at boot... I suggest using a regular SD card for /home in the right slot and mount the SDHC by your DE.

Would this be fixed on the upcoming kernel versions?:/ gothicknight's .27 kernel detects my sdhc properly. But I'm having issues with the keyboard not being detected...I'll just post my prob on the other thread..

@phabulosa: That's why you don't have probs with suspend / resume I guess...Mine is the SSD version and I do have problems on resuming after suspend...:)

I didn't see any reason why SSD will cause problem in suspend/resume.

I use hibernate-script on top of tuxonice. I use my own kernel and I already put it in the AUR (kernel26-oneice).
Never had any issue of suspend/resume from disk or memory.
uvesafb will give me a messy screen after resume (with the latest intel GEM-enabled video driver), but the xf86-video-intel and libdrm from extra works fine with uvesafb.
Try my kernel if you are interested.

The tuxonice kernel may be a bit of an overkill for my A110L, since I will never hibernate to the SSD.

In the comments of your kernel26-oneice you write that you switched to intelfb instead of uvesafb in the latest version. I would be very interested to hear about the results and how to enable intelfb when compiled as a module (like in the stock kernel that I use). Do you still need 915resolution in the initramfs for intelfb?

I didn't compile intelfb as a module, but built into the kernel.
915resolution is not required as pointed out by gothicknight. intelfb gives me the native 1024x600 resolution.

What filesystem would be better for the root on AA1 110? Ext2 or Xfs? I'm going to reinstall so I need some suggestions...:)

Also on the base-devel packages, what packages would be necessary for the AA1? I do always include all of the packages since I don't know every package's purpose...:( The AA1 110 has a very small storage space, I need to save space...;)

Thanks

ichbinesderelch · 2009-02-03 15:35:03

you hardly need any base-devel packages, but if you do install all there is enough disk space left anyway, never tried xfs on root partition anyway, but ext2 is working fairly good.

alex_anthony · 2009-02-03 17:26:04

It would depend on whether you want journaling
Ext2 will give your SSD a longer life, XFS will have other advantages (e.g. won't need to do a whole check of FS and reboot if you crash)
The corruption from suspending is only an issue on SD cards, not root filesystem

Anyone know what the SSD version shipped with under linpus?

Suspend is also broken for me with Uvesafb. I am using the stock kernel 2.6.28.2, same package versions as jey posted above and no special hooks for pm-suspend. Only the ath5k thing as mentioned in the wiki.
I am wondering whether any of the quirks mentioned in the manpage of pm-suspend may work, but there are too many to try them all.

Same as this guy.
I would like to get suspend to work!

I've been running gtk's kernel since I have home on an ext2 SDHC.

Not everything is perfect though. This machine gets constantly suspended. I've only seen the SDHC not resumed properly once -- at that time my firefox config went bad. I've seen the wireless error out complainig about the access point about 3 times (always resuming in the morning). Also I'mrunning xfce. 4 times now I had the background go black and had to go recheck the box to tell xfce to manage the display. Additonally just on this box I can only play a few minutes of video on animesquish.org before the video resets. Hulu is okay (although choppy).

Could tempfs screw with flash video?

Well, my workaround for the moment is to disable uvesafb (just remove the two relevant hooks from mkinitcpio.conf and rerun mkinitcpio). I don't have the time to test intelfb at the moment but I am optimistic that this may be the solution. If you want to try, here is the doc for intelfb:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … xt;hb=HEAD

Just modprobing it at any time should work, if I understand that correctly.

anyone of you ever tried some navigation software like navit on the AA1?i wanted to use the aa1 as my navigation system but navit takes a loooong time to load, and than just kinda hangs, can't interact with it or anything else, the same does tangogps. if anyone other want try to run those application on their aa1 it would be great, just to know if its aa1 dependend or just my sys, i'm having the sd version btw.

got everything to work pretty smooth, the trick was, gps wouldn't work when wlan is running, and no application did as well when both were running.

Has anyone gotten GEM working in Arch on here? I tried out the new Moblin alpha, and it included kernel 2.6.29rc2 and the very latest Intel video drivers + mesa 7.3. The 3D performance on here was stunning - gaming was actually enjoyable. Sadly, Moblin doesn't really have the capability of adding more software, so I went back to Arch, since I need more than just a gaming netbook. Does anyone know when the new Intel drivers will hit the repos? or the new Mesa? I tried compiling them from the AUR, but got various errors. Anyway, just wondered if anyone's got it working yet.

kaola_linux · 2009-02-06 02:04:08

Is the intel driver your referring is the same with the AUR? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22968
You could try check it out...:)

I got confused. What version of kernel, xf86-video-intel and libdrm do I need to enable GEM for intel graphics?

kaola_linux · 2009-02-06 12:51:04

Here's an info about GEM on linux:

I got it working, using the xf86-video-intel-latest, libdrm-newest, (but the old intel-dri) from the AUR, and then compiling mesa myself (the one in the AUR didn't work). I just replaced the libGLs from mesa 7.2 in /usr/lib with the ones from the mesa compile, and everything works nice.

Could you please upload your work at the AUR? I'll try to install them as well...thanks If your using kde 4.2, please post the difference when using the old version of the driver...It would be a nice info for those using kde on their AA1...;) Thanks

Finally got arch installed on the AspireOne, had to follow these instructions http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … f_packages to update and get the network card working. Most everything is working great now, just can't seem to get the graphics performance some are saying they get. glxgears says only 153 FPS at the most so I don't know how it's supposed to show 750-1000 FPS according to this page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ace … Games_List

Is that a typo? Because i get roughly output like: "803 frames in 5.0 seconds = 160.485 FPS" etc..

I have "export INTEL_BATCH=1" in /etc/profile

Question.

I'm considering pre-ordering the 10 inch model. Are the wireless issues still prevalent in Windows or did they update the bios/drivers?

piie · 2009-02-07 00:18:20

I wrote a daemon which controls the fan, if you like to test it, "acerhdf" is in aur: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23686

It is written in C and thus doesn't need that much cpu time like the perl / bash script combination.

Any suggestions, ideas and bug reports are welcome!

I don't exactly have anything to package... I'll just give a description of what I did to get the end result. I installed libdrm-newest and xf86-video-intel-newest from the AUR; libgl, mesa, and intel-dri from the 'extra' repo. Then, I downloaded and compiled Mesa 7.3 (available here: http://mesa3d.org/download.html), using the option make linux-dri-x86, and replaced the existing /usr/lib/libGL* with the ones created by the Mesa compilation. And that's it! GEM is great... the 3D performance is amazing compared to what I was getting before. Of course, still not par with say an nvidia chipset or something, but amazing for anything I've seen with intel graphics. Hope some of you are able to get it going as well.

Edit: I haven't tried KDE 4.x on here yet, but it's on my list of things to try. If anyone has, let me know how it works out.

@webframp, i wouldn't count on frames from glxgears anyways, and if your system is running smooth you probably configured everything good so don't care about that.
think you already saw the aa1 page in the wiki? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One you did applied pretty everything to it, just wanted to mention(maybe you wanna trie xorg.conf from there)

the.ov · 2009-02-07 13:39:15

With the new GEM-enabled drivers, I don't get high FPS on glxgears (only about 150-300, depending) but acceleration is smooth, and that's what matters.

webframp, assuming you're not using GEM, the 150-ish FPS that you're getting probably means that acceleration isn't working properly. Try running 'glxinfo | grep Rasterization' and if that shows a line saying something like "Software Rasterization", then hardware acceleration isn't working.

Also, everyone, if you look at your Xorg.0.log (try 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Clone' you'll see that the "Clone" and "MonitorLayout" options are ignored (with the latest Xorg), so we can probably remove them from the samples in the wiki and such.

I'm really interested in mesa 7.3 but can't get it to compile!
when i use 'make linux-dri-x86' it fails because it can't find makedepend.
i figure i'm missing some dev-tools but i have base-devel and automake and such. any clues?
