Re: Laptops which run Arch

A 17" macbook pro.
Everything works, after some tweaks:
suspend, hibernate, wired & wireless, sound, video, isight, printing, fan control, mediakeys, backlight, etc etc...
It runs really cool. I get 4 to 5.5 hours on the battery, which is close to what I get when (very rarely) booted under osx.
I just love this laptop.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

I'm running Arch on my Asus EeePC 1005HA and everything works great. I didn't have to screw around with anything, but then again I installed it via Chakra and not by hand.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Dell Inspiron 1110 (AKA 11z):

* Intel U4100 CPU @ 1.3 GHz
* 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM
* 320 GB HDD
* Intel GMA X4500 (i810), 64bit
* Dell Wireless 1397(802.11b/g) (Broadcom BCM4312)
* No NumLock, CapsLock, ScrollLock LEDs (accidentally tripping over CapsLock and wondering why your vim has gone mad, anyone?)
* 11.6" screen, 1.4 kg!
* Now running Arch 64

Everything I've tried works.  Using the driver from AUR for my wireless NIC, other than that it's "out of the box".

Stuff I've tried includes:
* Touchpad (though it's some Elan touchpad, so the only "driver" is a PS/2 mouse emulation, thus no option of configuring it ATM -- stuff like scrolling with two fingers works, though); I easily bound the extra function keys (brightness up/down, volume up/down/mute) under OpenBox with no problem whatsoever
* Wireless -- works
* Screen, video card -- though I had to disable KMS and have to use "xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native" in my startup script to get backlight control with xbacklight; 3D works, 440 FPS with glxgears
* Battery -- acpi(1) reports battery charge level, remaining battery time and remaining time to fully charge properly, out-of-the-box; battery lasts about 5 hours under "standard" usage
* Hibernation -- using ususpend, no problems at all
* Webcam -- out of the box, but no face tracking

Stuff I haven't tried:
* Bluetooth
* Memory card slot
* HDMI port

The laptop is pretty snappy, especially considering how small it is -- performance is just good under my minimal OpenBox desktop, but I haven't tried anything computationally-intensive like compiling the kernel.  For the usual tasks like vim'ing, wasting time on Facebook etc. there's absolutely no difference from my 2.8 GHz Athlon desktop.

To conclude, this lappy was a great choice for me.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Acer eMachines E525-902G16MI

Almost everything works perfectly. Only thing that's not working correctly is the brightness keys. They work up until GRUB loads, but not after that, So you can set the brightness but you have to be quick. Also I haven't tried the sleep/hibernate button yet, but hibernate works fine.

edit: adding acpi_osi= to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst solves the problem with the brightness keys, althoug they are reversed (fn+down key raises brightnes etc.)

IBM LENOVO T500
Intel AGN 5300
ATI graphics <--

Most everything works oob. ATI needs fiddling with to get going (proprietary drivers). Overall, I am very pleased with the performance i get from Arch.
