Installation procedure

Setup

I take the Kubuntu live CD amd x64

Installation

To get Kubuntu to start you have to add noapic to the bootparameter.

NOTE!
The graphical LiveCD installer automatically installs grub to the MBR but I am still able to use the IBM R'n'R partition.

What works out of the box

Power management etc

  • Suspend to RAM (Fn+F4)__?
  • CPU speed stepping
  • LCD Brightness depending on current power scheme, via KPowersave and HAL

Extra keys

  • Volume control, keyboard light
  • Lid switch (LCD off when lid closed, resume from suspend to RAM when opened)
  • Multimedia keys with KMix and Amarok

What had to be configured by hand

What doesn't work yet

  • some FN bottons
  • Integrated Fingerprint Reader
  • screen brightness control FN + Pos1 cause a restart of the xserver
