# ASUS A53T

From ArchWiki

This article or section does not follow the Laptop page guidelines.

Reason: Stub (Discuss in Talk:ASUS A53T)

## Summary

Comprehensive review available here: https://techreport.com/review/21717/asus-a53t-llano-powered-notebook

- Processor: AMD A6-3400M 1.4GHz Quad Core
- RAM: 4GB
- Video: Radeon HD 6720G2 1GB (Radeon HD 6520G + Radeon HD 6650M)
- Hard Drive: 750GB

## Installation

Requires addition of the following to boot options:

    radeon.modeset=0

Timeouts experienced while formatting each partition of the hard drive. Cause as yet unconfirmed (perhaps webcam), appears harmless just have to wait 2 minutes between each partition format, the installer has not crashed.

Installation otherwise trouble free, no missing drivers etc to complicate the process.

## Hardware

### CPU

Works fine with cpufrequtilsAUR, powernow-k8 driver.

### Audio

PulseAudio required, with libflashsupport-pulse-gitAUR required for sound in Flash video.

Crackled sound can be fixed by editing `/etc/pulse/default.pa` and adding `tsched=0` to the `load-module module-udev-detect` line

    load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
