Talk:A110 Hardware Status
From A110 Wiki
--Yorn 17:29, 5 June 2008 (UTC) Does someone have a .config for the latest kernel for all the Hardware working at the moment? Is there a complete kernel image + headers as .deb? I am compiling one at the moment and I wonder if someone has figured out the best .config so far to get everything working smoothly.
- Dunno if someone has at the moment. The best .config depends a little bit on your needs of course. Do you want a minimal one or one with most possible extensions (like fuse or ndiswrapper). For example some people may want to try external USB-Wlan-thumb drives, so they probably need ndiswrapper, even if the source for Wlan would work (which does not do so here). --Helmar Wodtke 17:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Let's say a minimal one that gets everything to work in the A110 which is built-in, maybe except the WLAN, I'd rather choose to compile that one in later. --Yorn 18:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- If you had said "without cardreader", I'd suggested to install Sidux. The current kernel does a good job and Wlan ist working well with ndiswrapper for me. The cardreader driver can be even compiled without kernel sources (which, btw. should be already installed with Sidux in most common cases ;) ). So install a Sidux and you'll probably get everything you need. The most hurting part was Xorg, which has no direct reference to the kernel. Except maybe DRI or so, what nobody did get to work until now. --Helmar Wodtke 18:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'd like to have a solution that does not depend on a certain distribution so one can use the kernel and modify it afterwards abd reuse it for multiple distributions. So a basic .config for the 2.6.25 branch would be great. I used the debian kernel howto on this page and it actually works good, but the kernel seems pretty bloated to me.
- Of course, it's the standard Debian kernel, which builds modules for pretty much everything in order to work on as many systems as possible out of the box. If you want something smaller there's no way around compiling and fine-tuning your own kernel. --Uwe Hermann 18:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
