HP Mini 110-4100

Attention! This is work in progress...

Executive overview: HP Mini 110-4100, 1 GB RAM (some of it reserved for graphics), 320 GB HD, german keyboard, Windows 7 Starter OEM preinstalled, date of purchase: 3rd July 2012. Gentoo got installed (via LiveUSB) in dual boot setup. Freeing HD space went along the procedure found here. Things that seem to work (kernel 3.4.4-gentoo): USB, touchpad, WLAN (ath9k), LAN (r8169), Audio (HDA Intel), internal webcam. X works in native resolution (1024x600) with the kernel framebuffer support for the GMA 3600. Contrast, resolution and fonts look ok. X somewhat works with the VESA driver as well, now with a slighty blurred image and in some cases (menus & title bars) wrong font sizes (I suspsect limited VESA support for 1024x600 and wrong DPI calculation in course).

Warning: Usually I need just basic lightwight 2d stuff (icewm, xterm, emacs, firefox and the likes). I'm not really in HD video / 2d / 3d-acceleration so you better check twice if you need that: At the time of writing, googleing indicates that Linux support may be comparatively poor in this regard.

Suspend to disk/RAM seems to work; the kernel option 'acpi_sleep=s3_bios' is needed to prevent the screen from staying black at resume. It sometimes seems necessary to unload and reload the ath9k module after a resume to get WLAN working again.

The only stress-tests up to now have been various emerges and kernel compiles with no apparent failures.
