Arch Linux and Compaq Mini, a perfect combination

The definitive guide for configuring the Compaq Mini Arch and 'here! but no . :) Actually

'This article contains some small tricks that I have come in handy during the installation and setup of Arch on my compaq mini (700el).
from the ground up.

The kernel

As we know the baby in question and ' been saddled donated a beautiful network card Broadcom BCM4312. Occhebbello . And we know that we also mounts an Intel Atom.
This leads to a single road, the kernel- netbook. This kernel is' optimized for Intel Atom, and includes drivers for most popular laptops, including our HP.

To install, download the archive here and with a nice istallatelo:

 # pacman-U kernel-2.6.36.2-5-netbook-i686.pkg.tar.xz 

If you can not connect (understandable, since installing this kernel driver for the Broadcom card), copy the package on a USB stick, insert it and mount it:
localize the pen with dmesg
and install the package with pacman, as above:

pacman-U kernel-2.6.36.2-5-netbook-i686.pkg.tar.xz


Network configuration
Now we must add the file / etc / rc . conf module

 wl. If you have installed the b43 driver 

, you have to blacklist. Then, change the MODULES line in this way:

MODULES = (wl! B43) Perfect, now paying iwconfig from the terminal you should see output like this: wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID: off / any Mode: Managed Frequency : 2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power = 27
dBm

 long Retry limit: 7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off Encryption key 

:
off Power Management: off

 
 
 If it is not 'wlan0 is eth1 (or eth0), the saying goes: D 
 
 
 
 video card for your video card and' all very simple. We need only install a package, 

xf86-video-intel
.

# pacman-S xf86-video-intel

no additional configuration. I recommend you follow this procedure before installing any throttle to DE, because without this package will not see much, I say this from experience: D

Touchpad
If it happens that disappears when you move the cursor with the touchpad, installed

 package xf86-input-synaptics 

. (Yes, the problems are solved packages installed: D)
Go to configure the file / etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf, and edit it to also enable scrolling with the touchpad:

Section "InputClass"

... Option "VertEdgeScroll" on "EndSection

 And here ends the 
 megatutorial 
 .* It 's my first post on Arch and I'm still a bit' excited: D 
 Happy New Year to all, and remember 2011 will be the year of Linux!: D * 
 

Arch enjoy responsibly.
