Re: Hp Pavilion dv4000 & GNU/Linux
I've installed Fedora Core 4 (dual boot WinXP) on an HP Pavilion dv 4162EA, which is a member of the HP dv4000 family. It's been a bitch, I'd have to say.
Googling indicates the Debian/Ubuntu family is supposed to be a painless install on these laptops (same as Compaq Presario V4000 if you're looking), but for now I'm continuing with FC4. I've got graphics working in 1280x800 by applying a different HP laptop's xorg.conf, deleting some options that gave errors and writing a modeline by hand (using Vesa). Looks nice.
PROBLEM: Xine works but dvd's play very badly - jumpy etc.
QU: Shouldn't we be using i915 driver instead of VESA? Or is it the i810? Googling indicates that the i810 on FC4 will NOT WORK until a full yum update is done (what's that, a 500MB download?)
I've tried compiling the i915 and i810 from sources but only the 'common' package (GL libraries?) compiles.

Re: Hp Pavilion dv4000 & GNU/Linux
With regard to the jumpy DVD, have you tried running the xine-check program? It seems to run a fairly comprehensive suite of tests on your system configuration. In my case it correctly found that a quick "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb" would do the trick.

Re: Hp Pavilion dv4000 & GNU/Linux
I've updated Xorg and the kernel to the current release, after which the i810/i915 modules compiled correctly.
Bad news: the new i810 driver won't work, so no way out of a full yum update. So I'll get wireless working, then head to a broadband access point (I don't have broadband at present). Moral: *never* install an early cycle Fedora release. This one came off the front of a magazine about 5 months ago. Buggy as hell.
Good news: got the softmodem and suspend to ram working.

I have the 915GM card, BTW.
Thanks
