Fujitsu-Siemens_FMV-BIBLO_NF60T

Introduction

This page intends to be a how-to on setting up the Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO NF60T (and likely other similar models). This is a Japanese system.

Hardware

Manufacturer: Fujitsu
Country: Japan
Processor: Athlon Turion 64 1.6Ghz (range?) dual-core
Screen: 15.4 inch 1280x800 LCD
Wireless: built-in Atheros 5424 (according to Madwifi driver)
ethernet: built-in gigabit SysKonnect
graphics: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M (or 1150? I've seen both numbers)
flashcard reader: O2Micro, Inc. OZ711MP1/MS1(?) Hard disk controller: ATI IXP IDE Modem: yes. :-/ (ATI IXP?) optical: DVD-RW USB: x3 PCMCIA: x2 firewire: x1? TV-out: S-Video

Software

• linux-2.6.20 and up (see note)
  
  • "sk98" driver
    
  • "ath_pci"
    
• net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.2
• sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.8-r2
  • yenta_socket
• x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.34.8 (see note2)

Kernel Config Tips

These are settings which I use for the hardware, and which I think you should probably use as well.

• Processor type and features
  • MTRR (a requirement for another module later? graphics, I believe)
  • Symmetric multi-processing support
  • Multi-core scheduler support
  • Maximum number of CPUs (2)
    • Machine check support
      • AMD MCE features
• Power management options
  • Power Management support
    • ACPI Support
      • AC Adapter
      • Battery
      • Button
      • Video
      • Fan
      • Processor
        • Thermal Zone
  • CPU Frequency scaling
    • AMD Opteron/Athlon64 PowerNow!
• Executable file formats
  • IA32 Emulation
• Networking
  • Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack
    • IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption (802.1x)
• Device Drivers
  • ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
    • Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk... support
      • Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
      • Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
      • generic/default IDE chipset support
      • PCI IDE chipset support
        • Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
          • Use PCI DMA by default when available
          • ATI IXP chipset IDE support
  • SCSI device support
    • SCSI generic support (I believe for the card reader)
  • Serial ATA (prof) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
    • ATI PATA support
  • IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
    • OHCI-1394 support
  • Network device support
    • Ethernet (1000 MBit)
      • Select SysKonnect devices (which?)
    • Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions
  • Input device support
    • Mouse
      • PS/2 mouse
    • Miscellaneous devices
      • PC Speaker support (is this needed?)
  • Character devices
    • Enhanced Real Time Clock Support
  • Graphics support
    • (unknown)
  • Sound
    • Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
      • PCI devices
        • ATI IXP AC97 Controller (is this needed?)
        • ATI IXP Modem
        • Intel HD Audio (Required for audio)
  • USB support
    • EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
    • OHCI HCD support
  • MMC/SD Card support (required for card reader)
    • MMC block device driver
    • Secure Digital Host Controller Interface support

Others: Since this is a notebook, you may wish to consider: CPU Frequency scaling, powersave, performance, conservative covernors; USB printer support; USB mass storage support. I'll assume you know how to select those as you're building your own kernel.

Persisting Issues

Sometimes the screen doesn't turn off while X has DPMS set. Only sometimes. DPMS can be forced with xset dpms force off, but that's an inelegant solution

I'm unsure on how to make the framebuffer work in the console

I'm unaware of a way to make the flashcard reader work. That's mostly because all the download locations for the O2Micro driver that I've seen are now defunct.

System Setup

Battery conservation/Runlevels

I believe this has been discussed in depth elsewhere.. anyone.. link?
