# HP Compaq NX6325

This article describes specific steps to configure hardware on the notebook model HP Compaq NX6325.

# Wireless

The Compaq nx6325 has the BCM4311 or BCM4312 wireless chipset. The b43 drivers that come with the latest kernel will get these to work. The b43-firmware package must also be installed from the AUR. Details can be found here

# Power management

NOTE: All and any of these are optional. Laptop Mode Tools and Acpid are highly advised.

Laptop Mode tools with a combination of Cpufreq, acpi and pm-utils will work on this notebook. Thorough installation and configuration instructions for each tool can be found:

- Laptop Mode Tools
- CPU frequency scaling (may not be required)
- Acpid
- Pm-utils

# Audio

Sound works fine, just follow the ALSA how-to. For a more complete solution (with greater options) consider installing PulseAudio.

## Multimedia keys

A modern Desktop Environment will take care of this Automatically. However to manually enable the multimedia keys (volume up/down/mute), create a file .Xmodmap in your home directory, add the following lines:

    keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
    keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume

and restart X.

# Video

The free xf86-video-driver driver works perfectly for the Radeon Xpress 200M that ships with the nx6325. The proprietry catalyst driver no longer works for this card, support has been dropped.

## Xorg.conf

Xorg now automatically takes care of the Xorg configuration. No xorg.conf is needed, however if one is presented it will attempt to load it.

For troubleshooting or setting up a complicated environment, refer to Xorg

# Fingerprint, card slots, etc.

The multi-card reader work out-of-the-box with the latest kernel.

The Authentec fingerprint reader works with the installation and configuration of fprint
