Info on my experience with Omnibook 6000 and Linux
I have installed Windows2000 Professional and Linux on my portable.
Using the info on that previous link, I was able to use my NIC and Sound Card. I have no problems with the videocard either.
About the sound card : it is a time stamped version. You have to type soundon to activate it, but after a few hours the driver stops. You then have to type soundoff, soundon to re-enable it. However the amount of time you can use the driver will have decreased by 20 minutes. After a while you will no longer be able to use the driver. (That was what I read from the README)
So, sound works (played mp3's already) but time stamped, unless you buy the driver.
HP ? No license by any chance ?
I think this is an answer to all those who think about installing Linux on the Omnibook 6000. RedHat 6.2 is running just fine on it and I will soon install/upgrade to RedHat 7.0 which, as I've read has even better support for the apmd calls. It already works fine though. I have a monitor for the battery under linux which works just fine.
Stay in contact ? Well, why not : jeroen.demets@*NOSPAM*savaco.com
Of course remove the nospam.

Sorry, I've selected new message instead of reply.
And apparently this forum puts the latest message on top. Latest meaning the latest reply and not the latest first posting.
Sorry again,
didn't want to fill this up.
