Fedora 7

I install the Fedora 7 in my notebook, an HP Pavilion dv9230us. I'm very happy with the result, because almost works without any intervention. Vista just to play cod uo, in a 40Gb partition. :)

So next a resume about the resources that are working or not.


It's a Centrino Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5500 (1,66GHz), 2Gb DDR2, Sata 200 Gb 5400rpm (two hard drive 100Gb).

Kernel Fedora 7 - 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 14:56:37 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

NVidia GeForce Go 7600 with 256Mb (discrete) - Works with livna package - kmod-nvidia-100.14.09-1.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7
Beryl is working, but some times the beryl freeze, with this message kernel: NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 29, L1 -> L0
But I think it's a Beryl/NVidia conflict, because without Beryl all works fine!

Display 17" WXGA (1440x900) is working fine!
SVideo - works with my tv.
VGA out - works , also with beryl!

DVDRW works, LightScribe untested (I don't have idea that how, but it isn't important to me). :)

Fax/Modem untested.

Network Card 10/100/1000 works (Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller).

Wireless works (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)) - I just need start NetworkManager service and boot with wireless key on, Fedora 7 does all rest.

Sounds and headphone work.

Webcam works, I'll post in a future how I do.

Internal and external microphone don't work yet! :)

Keyboard, numeric keypad, DVD buttons, Touch Pad with on/off button and dedicated vertical scroll - all working!

Battery works.
USB 2.0 works.

Control Remote partial works (volume, next, back). Need more work.

Firewire, HDMI, Expansion port 3 and PC Card Slots untested.

It's all folks.
