Toshiba A300D here.

EDIT: I've been inspired by some of the work people have done, and I made a wiki page on it for the other 3 people who use this laptop

Samsung NB30 netbook.

Had to modify the samsung-backlight kernel module with this model's information and work around the lack of events on some function keys with halevt, but it otherwise has been working just about perfectly.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

I'm using an HP HDX16t...

despite its horrible battery life because of the 16" screen, it works out of the box. Cpu sensors work, i havent found out how to control fan speeds. you can control the power consumption of the iwl wifi card. it runs better in arch than any other distro ive ran on it. no arch problems though. heats up a little bit, but not with laptop-mode on.

i think the only thing that doesnt work is the mediacard reader but i dont even use it.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Asus eee 1005PE

The 2009 install img is pretty much useless for this machine.  I ended up using another install to put a minimal current Arch on a USB stick, then used that to install on the 1005PE using the same method.  Much of the advice for the 1005HA is useful for this machine, but not all.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Dell Studio 1555 doesn't work post kernel 2.6.32. The CPU reaches 100 degree centigrade, and the system shuts off. 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 apparently haven't fixed the problem either.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Compaq nx6310 EY588ES working flawlessly (except having a vertical scroll enabled, cause I don't have an xorg.conf file) on Arch Linux with Openbox.
Will post an article on the wiki when I grab some time.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Thinkpad edge here

Almost everything works out had the snd-hda-intel to olpc-xo-1_5 to solve the headphone problem, thanks to g0ju for pointing that out.

The only problem left is the bluetooth which is not detected at all, but when I tried to remove the module it said that it's in use. Any suggestion?

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Sager NP9261 and Toshiba Satellite A500

Both work perfectly on Arch.

The WiFi card for the toshiba is a Realtek8192SE, which is still in staging/ in 2.6.33. Gotta use the driver from realtek's website

Re: Laptops which run Arch

HP Elitebook 8530w

System:
Arch x86_64

What works:
Nvidia FX 770M
Intel HDA
Synaptics
Lightscribe
Wireless Intel 5300
eSATA
Webcam
Temp sensors

What doesn't work:
Fingerprint reader (proprietary hardware encryption still not broken)

What is not tried:
Media keys (volume control work out of the box, but function keys need some attention, should be possible though)
PCMCIA (nothing to test on, but is detected)
Ricoh MMC reader (again I dont have anything to test with, but should work)
Bluetooth (should work)
Ricoh Firewire and Express Card slot 54

Edit: By now, pretty much everything works oob except the fingerprint module. But thats because HP/Authentec has not released anything for Linux.

Running Arch x86_64 and everything runs well out of the box. I did have to follow the wiki to get my wireless working though. Stuff I didn't try is:
Ricoh card reader
Bluetooth
Media keys (they are detected by the kernel, but I haven't gotten them to work yet)
Multiple screens

Re: Laptops which run Arch

Toshiba A300-1GT

Managed to install Arch succesfully, got everything to work (wifi, touchpad, compositing (xcompmgr), alsa). Had to install fglrx instead of x86 ati drivers because of overheating (it didn't shutdown, but the ventilator worked the entire time. Now it's quiter than while it is running vista). Also had to install wicd and connect the wifi via wicd, iwlist returned "no scan results" although the interface was properly setup.
