INSTALL in a toshiba tecra 8200
Install goes pretty smooth and error-free. All my recommendations are provided to make your install process easier. If you do not need them, or find ways to make a certain process easier or better, please edit this document.
Audio
Use the ALSA module: snd-ymfpci
Video
Use xorg.
In Xorg.conf
, these parameters work.
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "lcdhard" HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5 VertRefresh 55.0 - 90.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "tridentXP" Driver "trident" ChipSet "bladeXP" Card "trident bladeXP" EndSection
Do not forget to install the window manager of your choice. it could be xfce or gnome or kde. and to pacman the trident driver
Network
- Wired
in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 eepro100
and in rc.conf
, configure your network as you want.
in my case eth0 is like
eth0="192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1" ROUTES=(gateway)
- Wireless
if i follow other persons, it would be run with orinoco_cs. you must install pcmcia_cs and wirelesstools
Modem
The modem appears to be working. The drivers for the modem are no longer available from the official source. You can find a collection of them here from an unofficial source.
Some tweaking
Install the hwd[broken link: package not found] package. This is a nice hardware detection script.
comment or remove in rc.sysinit the last line, it's a screensaver but usually, you have another one
/usr/bin/setterm -blank 15
- permit to the user to halt or reboot the system
- using nano to change the config file, it's very simple to use but to prevent the problem of wraping add in
/etc/nanorc
set nowrap
- time
to synchronise your time use ntpclient. install the npt package, then when you want update time
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
