I recommend [Xbindkeys](/index.php/Xbindkeys "Xbindkeys") for sound buttons. Every other fn-X button works. Suspend, wifi, brightness works. The video out button does not work, use xrandr instead. HDMI works as well. The battery is properly read. Use [laptop-mode-tools](/index.php/Laptop#Laptop_mode_tools "Laptop") for power saving. You can run xorg without config file. xf86-video-intel is the package you need. I could not run x with vesa on this chipset, it just froze completely. HDMI and VGA out works, but not via fn-F8\. You can use lxrandr, GUI for xrandr for setting up video out. You can make fn-f8 work by configuring [Acpid](/index.php/Acpid "Acpid"). ### Webcam Flipping Written by [MessedUpHare](https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=49720) Some models supposedly have their webcams mounted upside down (not confirmed) causing the image to display upside down, this at least affects Skype and Google Hangout. **Google Hangout in Chromium on x86_64** ``` $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /opt/google/talkplugin/GoogleTalkPlugin & chromium ``` the above solution requires lib32-v4l-utils from multilib, I have also installed google-talkplugin from AUR ## Powersaving See [power saving](/index.php/Power_saving "Power saving"). ## Fun This computer has an extra power button on the left, you can configure this with [Xbindkeys](/index.php/Xbindkeys "Xbindkeys") and run something useful. Like I use it for switching songs. The extra button is originally for powering up with Asus Express gate. ## Freezes while/after booting On my UL30A current Arch or Manjaro install won't boot (freeze somewhere along the process) unless I pass `processor.nocst` as kernel parameter. This deactivates a certain APIC feature to determine the C-state but shouldn't affect performance or stability since a legacy one is used instead. Don't forget to add that to your GRUB config afterwards as well. Other things I pass to the kernel to improve battery life are `nmi_watchdog=0` and `pcie_aspm=force`. You have to see how well those work for you. In general if you encounter freezes during boot APIC and ACPI should be looked into and deactivated if a solution can't be found. ## lspci ``` [brain@Brain_NoteBook ~]$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03) 00:1a.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 03) 00:1a.2 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 (rev 03) 00:1a.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 6 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 93) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation ICH9M-E LPC Interface Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801IBM/IEM (ICH9M/ICH9M-E) 4 port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 03) 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.
