Journal n2rjt's Journal: HP Pavilion DV1411se with Fedora Core 5 Rocks

At first install, quite a bit wasn't right.
The Synaptic touch pad was too sensitive, the screen resolution was wrong, etc.
It was easy to fix those by editing xorg.conf.
The media keys were equally easy.
The wireless worked after installing the firmware, but I switched to ndiswrapper -- it seems to work better somehow.
I just installed kernel 2.6.17-rc4, and the Secure Digital drive works.
Now the only thing broken is hibernate and suspend. I had hibernate working for a while, but broke it trying to get suspend to work. Oh well.
Otherwise, this is one sweet machine, very nicely supported by Linux.
Update 5/27/06: Hibernate and suspend work! An option in xorg.conf did the trick.
