This is an update to a TuxMobil report that I wrote on the same machine running FC4.

I. Description

The Compaq/HP Presario X1010AL is an excellent desktop replacement. It came with a hefty price tag but got it out of a last stock bargain. This box came into my hands July 18, 2004 with the following specs:

• Intel Pentium M 1.3GHz (Centrino Chipset)
• 256MB DDR-SDRAM
• ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 (32MB; VGA/SVideo Out)
• 15.4″ WXGA Screen (1280×800)
• Intel PRO Wireless 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (802.11b)
• Realtek RTL-8139C+ (Ethernet Card)
• 56k Dial-Up Modem
• 30GB Western Digital Hard Disk Drive
• Compaq CRN 8245B (Internal CD-ROM Drive)
• Intel 82801DBM(ICH4-M) USB Host Controller (3x USB 2.0)
• VIA IEEE 1394 Host Controller (Firewire)
• Intel 82801DBM(ICH4-M) AC’97 Audio Controller
• Synaptics TouchPad with integrated scroll pad and switch
• SD Media Card Reader/Writer
• JBL Pro speakers
• Pre-installed with useless crap (Norton AntiVirus 2005, MusicMatch Jukebox, etc)

And the upgrades:

• Seagate 60GB 5400rpm Hard Disk Drive (~early May, 2005)
• Kingston 512MB PC-333 DDR-SDRAM (~early April, 2006)

II. Installation

Fedora Core is a lot better when I first installed FC4. Installation of Fedora Core 6 was a breeze with Anaconda. After installation, it properly detected most of the hardware. The WiFi adapter cannot be installed automatically due to licensing issues.

III. Troubleshooting

The WiFi adapter may be installed through the ipw2100-firmware and ipw2100-kmdl (kernel module) packages. They can be found on ATrpms. The 56k dial-up modem is not yet tested but is said to work with slmodem. Not all the hotkeys do not work. Dual-head does not work out of the box as well.

The rest of the hardware are known to work fine.
