Ethernet

The intended module "sky2" is broken for this device in kernels <2.6.27. Also see Sky2.

Currently there is no stable gentoo-sources-2.6.27, therefore we have to use unstable:

### if 2.6.27 isn't stable yet, use the latest version from the 2.6.27 series:
echo "<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.28" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

emerge gentoo-sources

Processor

Nothing special needs to be done, see Intel_Core_2_Duo. Part of the /etc/make.conf:

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"

WLAN

The ath5k driver doesn't work yet. The lscpi output seems to be wrong. Instead of a AR5006EG a AR5007EG is built-in.
At the time of writing (10.03.2008), a special version of madwifi is needed. I've deactivated the mac80211 and ath5k modules and used the driver mentioned in [2]. Simply do the usual "make" and "make install" stuff and reboot (some people say it's necessary because of ath_hal).
After that activate the radio with the following commands:

sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=0
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=1

I've testet "managed" and "master" mode, both work with the described setup.
Deactivating the radio is still unknown.

For further configuration see the official guide: [3].

Graphic card

Supported by the official nvidia driver, see Nvidia.

Since version 177.70 our graphic card is supported. The latest official version is 177.80.

### if 177.80 isn't stable yet:
echo "=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.80" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge nvidia-drivers

Further informations in section Xorg.

Touchpad

Works with the usual synaptics drivers (See Xorg section or Synaptics).

Sound

Works with the Intel HD Audio module.

If the internal mic works only for some apps (those who use oss f.e. skype):
"Front mic" is the internal microphone, "mic" the plugable, set "Input Source" to "Front mic".

USB

Standard modules EHCI/UHCI work (needed for at least the camera and the cardreader), see USB.

S/ATA

Activate AHCI (if it's not per default) in the BIOS and use the AHCI module.
Don't forget to activate the SCSI-Disk and SCSI-CdRom modules. The general guide for SATA.

ExpressCard

Untested. I have no such device. See ExpressCard

Cardreader

Works with USB mass storage module.
No special cardreader/MMC/SD/whatever module has to be activated.

Builtin camera

Works with the v4l uvc kernel module. Just activate the usual V4l stuff and the uvc kernel module.
Tested with Mplayer and Skype. Cheese doesn't work, looks like a gstreamer problem.

HDMI

Untested. I have no such device.

VGA-Out

Untested, yet. Should at least work with the official NVIDIA drivers. Perhaps this guide is useful HOWTO_nVidia_TwinView.

Suspend-to-ram

Works.

Suspend-to-disc

Works.

Fn keys

Sleep and power button create ACPI-Events. Easy job for ACPI.

emerge acpid

/etc/acpid/defaults.sh

Other buttons send unknown key codes, Lower/Raise volume f.e., so we add the following lines to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-misc.fdi under the prefix "samsung":

<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product" string="R510/P510">
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e003:battery</append> <!-- Fn+F2 battery icon -->
	<!-- Fn+F3 euro; generates these scancodes according to showkeys(1): 0x38 0x52 0xd2 0x4f 0xcf 0x50 0xd0 0x48 0xc8 0xb8 -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e002:displaytoggle</append> <!-- Fn+F4 CRT/LCD; -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e004:prog1</append> <!-- Fn+F5 backlight on/off -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e031:prog2</append> <!-- Fn+F7 run Samsung Magic Doctor (keypress event is generated twice)$
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e033:prog3</append> <!-- Fn+F8 switch power mode (battery/dynamic/performance) -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e006:wlan</append> <!-- Fn+F9 Turn On/Off Wireless -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e077:f22</append> <!-- Fn+F10 Touchpad on -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e079:f22</append> <!-- Fn+F10 Touchpad off -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e008:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Up Brightness up -->
	<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e009:brightnessdown</append> <!-- Fn+Down Brightness down -->
	<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.keymap</append>
</match>

and a Xmodmap file is necessary:

# put these lines in ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute

and execute the following command after login:

xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

The problem with the other keys like brightness up/down is, that no key up event is generated. Further research need to be done.

To use the official nvidia driver don't forget to execute:

eselect opengl set nvidia

Console framebuffer

Works with uvesafb. Follow this guide: [4], but install the latest version of v86d, therefore execute:

echo "sys-apps/v86d" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
