[edit] Introduction
The HP Compaq 6715s is Turion X2 based notebook, with 15.4 widescreen monitor, 1 Gb RAM, 160 Gb sata disk and Broadcom wireless 802.11b/g.
[edit] Description of the hardware
| Hardware Components | Status under Linux | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AMD Turion 64 bit X2, 2 GHz | Works | Enabling specific support within the kernel. |
| 15.4" TFT Display | Works | No special procedure required during installation. |
| ATI X1250 Graphics | Works | emerge ati-drivers and run aticonfig utility to customize xorg.conf |
| 160Gb FUJITSU MHY2160BH | Works | CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y |
| Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) | Works | See this guide |
| MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-861H LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±RW Writer | Works | LightScribe wasn't tested but should work. K3b says "DMA not enabled", but still working right |
| Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02) | Works | emerge ndiswrapper, native module bcm43xx doesn't work. use windows module with ndiswrapper. WEP and WPA ok. For kernel 2.6.24 see this thread |
| Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Azalia | Works | CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m |
| Synaptics Touchpad | Works | |
| Bluetooth wireless networking | Works | Seems that speed is low and lost connections several times per hour |
| 56k Modem | Untested | N/A |

[edit] Xorg
use aticonfig to customize the "Device" Section.
[edit] Synaptics
Default configuration which open way to change settings for example by ksynaptics.
| File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
|
[edit] Device
Set Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" to avoid rendering problems.
[edit] Wireless
See the Broadcom 43xx article.
[edit] Other
Follow the Power management guide [1] to save your battery.
The output of dmseg reveals this problem:
APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)
but there aren't performance problems.
[edit] LiveCD hangs
Other authors say nothing about this, but when I try the LiveCD-2008.0-r1, it hangs after a couple of minutes of running. The monitor turns black, and you can't reboot with Ctrl + Alt + Del. I'm seeking the solution. - 221.189.151.22 08:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
