[edit] Multimedia keys

Xmodmap additions:

keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 222 = XF86PowerDown
keycode 223 = XF86Sleep                     

Working keys : volume (up/down/mute), brightness controls, sleep. Wireless on/off is hard wired.

Figured out some more keycodes, don't know what X Keysnames map there:

keycode 136 = PresentationMode
keycode 179 = AutoBrightness
keycode 137 = FnF8 (battery symbol)
keycode 138 = FnF6
keycode 62  = ExternalMonitor
keycode 217 = TouchpadDisable
keycode 184 = FnAlt
keycode 220 = FnMenu

[edit] Pre-Installation Notes

Boots without problems from 2007.0. Fan control not optimal on livecd, it gets hot, but not dangerously hot.

[edit] Problems and Solutions

[edit] Backlight not switching on after a wake up from a suspend to ram

If you are using hibernate-script, emerge vbetool and 'EnableVBetool yes' in hibernate/ram.conf

[edit] High pitched humming sound

If you hear a high pitched humming sound try adding this to the kernel parameters :

max-cstate=c2

[edit] Display turns back on after 'xset dpms force on'

Set Option "NoPM" "yes" unser Server Layout in xorg.conf, and set power down settings in xscreensaver
