## UEFI

This laptop is UEFI-capable. The following articles were found to be helpful in setting up this laptop to boot in UEFI mode:

- UEFI
- GPT
- GRUB2

Earlier kernels (before 3.0) were unable to boot in UEFI mode on this laptop unless "noefi" was passed on the kernel line. Later kernel versions should boot correctly.

## Graphics

The integrated HD3000 GPU was found to work and perform well, although graphical corruption was experienced in certain configurations of KDE (before 4.7) and Xorg (before 1.11). This was found to be largely caused by DRI configuration related to S3TC, and was significantly improved by creating a ~/.drirc file with the following contents:

    <driconf>
        <device screen="0" driver="i965">
            <application name="Default">
                <option name="force_s3tc_enable" value="true" />
            </application>
        </device>
    </driconf>

This configuration file may be created using the graphical utility driconf, available in the [community] repository. At least one game (Braid) will not start without this modification at the time of writing.

## Input / Output Devices

This is the output from xinput list:

    ⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
    ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎜   ↳ DualPoint Stick                           id=13   [slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad          id=14   [slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
        ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
        ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]

        ↳ Power Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
        ↳ Sleep Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]

        ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
        ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys                          id=15   [slave  keyboard (3)]

- The keyboard (including number pad), power button, audio hotkeys, webcam, audio, and microphone were found to work flawlessly without any intervention.

- The "Track Stick" performs as expected. The touchpad supports synaptic extensions, but not multitouch.

## SD Card Reader

As of Kernel 3.0, the SD Card Reader does not react when a card is inserted. This can be rectified by removing the Firewire driver from the kernel:

    sudo modprobe -r firewire_ohci

To make the change permanent, remember to blacklist the firewire_ohci module (see Blacklisting).

Even with this fix, some corruption has occurred on certain SD cards when using the drive, along with seemingly related kernel panics. It would appear than driver support is lacking for this device.

This may be related to the following kernel warning, which appears at boot time:

    sdhci-pci 0000:09:00.1: Invalid iomem size. You may experience problems.
