# HP Mini 5101

## Video

Install xf86-video-intel or xf86-video-intel-newest. Make sure to configure KMS[broken link: invalid section] correctly.

## Audio

Typical Intel HD Audio. Just follow ALSA.

Make sure you have the latest version of alsa-utils, alsa-lib and alsa-firmware.

## Network

Swapping eth0/eth1 can confuse Wicd, assigning static names[broken link: invalid section] helps.

### Wireless Driver (Broadcom)

See Broadcom wireless for driver setup.

It may be necessary to load the driver (wl as an axample here) manually:

    /etc/rc.conf

    MODULES=(... wl ...)

Problem with reconnecting after suspending might be solved by:

    /etc/pm/config.d/01-modules

    SUSPEND_MODULES="wl"

#### Driver Overview

1. brcmsmac: Works best but the red/blue led isn't working.
2. broadcom-wl: Needs to be compiled newly from the AUR (broadcom-wifi-builderAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror] or broadcom-wlAUR) after each kernel upgrade. LED works but reconnecting problem after suspending.
3. b43: Alternatively your network chip may be supported by b43[broken link: invalid section] (kernel > 2.6.32).

## Bluetooth

See: Bluetooth

## Touchpad

Works out of the box.

## Webcam

Works out of the box.

## ACPI

### Suspend on Lid

This here works quite fine: Suspend to RAM#Automatic Suspend, the Hard Way[broken link: invalid section]

It might be necessary to use "/etc/acpi/events/lm_lid" instead of "/etc/acpi/events/lid". (laptop-mode?)

Just change the "LID" to it's actual value. For me it was C1D0.

    /etc/acpi/actions/lid_handler.sh

    if grep closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/C1D0/state >/dev/null ; then

### Power Button

Shutting system down by pressing the power button

### Hotkeys

#### Display toggle

ACPI hotkeys

    # acpi_listen
    (Press fn+f2)
    video C088 00000080 00000000

So we have to edit

    /etc/acpi/handler.sh

like this

    /etc/acpi/handler.sh

    case "$1" in
        .
        .
        .
        video)
            arandr #or path to your shell script for switching display mode
            ;;
        .
        .
        .
    esac

#### Mute, browser button, volume down, etc...

Extra keyboard keys

## Hard disk shock protection

Install hpfall from AUR and add it to rc.conf:

    DAEMONS=(... hpfall ...)
