Kernel used at the moment: Linux laptop 3.6.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 13:14:42 CET 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

## Foreword

The laptop works mostly out of the box with a few configurations.

## Video

This laptop has a "ATI Mobility HD Radeon 3600" card as you could see on the lspci. Use xf86-video-ati or proprietary catalyst driver. Guides can be found in the [ATI](/index.php/ATI "ATI") article in this wiki.

## Webcam

It also has 2 MP webcam, it's listed on lsusb:

```
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:63eb Microdia 

```

Works perfectly with the uvcvideo module. Works using cheese.

## Sound

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf adding:

```
alias snd-card-0 snd_hda_intel
alias snd-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
options snd-pscp index=2
options snd_hda_intel model=dell-m6

```

And in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

```
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6

```

Then run:

```
# modprobe snd-hda-intel
# modprobe snd-pcm-oss

```

## Microphone

To set up microphone:

```
# amixer sset 'Mic' 85% cap
# amixer sset 'Capture' 85% cap
# amixer sset 'Digital' 85%
# amixer sset 'Internal Mic' 85% cap

```

If you want to use the internal microphone (embedded next to the webcam) run:

```
# amixer sset 'Mic Jack Mode' 'Mic In'

```

If you want to use an external microphone using the jack run:

```
# amixer sset 'Mic Jack Mode' 'Line In'

```

## Ports and drives

CD/DVD drive worked out of the box.

## Power management

Works out of the box.

## Input devices

Keyboard works out of the box. For touchpad read the [Synaptics](/index.php/Synaptics "Synaptics") guide.

## Networking

Ethernet works out of the box. Wireless may work out of the box depending on your wifi card. If you have a Broadcom BCM43XX card, you will need to install the [broadcom-wl](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=broadcom-wl) driver from the [AUR](/index.php/AUR "AUR"). Read [Broadcom wireless](/index.php/Broadcom_wireless "Broadcom wireless") guide for details. [b43](/index.php/Broadcom_wireless#b43.2Fb43legacy "Broadcom wireless") driver can work as well, if supplied with proper firmware.
