Linux on the Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook S-4572 LaptopInstallationI have installed Debian 2.2 (Woody) from CD, which worked fine. Using kernel 2.4.7 nearly everthing works fine. MS-Windows2000 RecoveryI have tried to recover the pre-installed MS-Windows2000 (I couldn't access the partition anymore after a conversion from FAT to FAT32 with Partition Magic from PowerQuest). I have choosen the "R" (recovery) option and this left my partition scheme untouched. So I suppose it will leave an existing Linux installation intact, too. But your first boot probably has to be done from a boot floppy or CD and than LILO has to be re-run. PCMCIATested with PCMCIA-CS-3.1.28 package. DVD
I have tried Sound
Though I use the latest ALSA 0.9.0-beta7 no success yet. The
IrDA
I had only time for a quick check. Enable IrDA (instead of FIR) in the BIOS. SIR
works on
Network Card
The network slot is supported by Internal Modem
The modem seems to be an unsupported Intel modem, see Errico Prota <eprota_at_tiscali.it> reports: "I found the correct driver for internal modem of this notebook. See at SMlink (Linux driver for internal modems) , The last version is 2.9.9 and it works very fine in mandrake 10 official (2.4 and 2.6 kernel supported). Needed the kernel source and gcc compiler installed. I make also a symlink /dev/modem to /dev/ttySL0 created by the kernel module slamr." APM
The ACPIACPI is detected by the kernel, but I don't use it yet. Multi-Bay SlotCD-RWWorks fine, see CD-Writing-HOWTO for details. PCMCIA-AdapterWorks out of the box. Secondary HDDI had no device to test it, but it should work. X-Windows
The ATI graphics chip works with XFree86 4.0.3 and
my X configuration file.
I use the framebuffer X server in text mode. With Mouse/Touchpad
Couldn't get the mouse scroll buttons to work yet, see my XF86Config file for
the settings I have tried. No time to test the Also I couldn't check the tpconfig program yet. DMIThe Desktop Management Interface - DMI is a specification from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) that establishes a standard framework for managing networked computers. DMI covers hardware and software, desktop systems and servers, and defines a model for filtering events and describing interfaces.
Output of Fn-KeysThe Funkeys programm couldn't be tested yet. Smart-Card-ReaderThe reader is detected as a PCMCIA device, but I don't know how to use (I don't even own a Smart Card). Further infos you may get with the smartcard programm and my SmartCard survey. Port ReplicatorEverything seems to work well. Some more work has to be done to check for automagic switching, when connected or not. General Hardware Data
