Operazioni post-installazione

Utili repository per Fedora core 7

Sound System – Audio

After installation i cannot hear audio.
The default conf do not work.
I have changed my modprobe.conf
(see below) and everything work correctly.

[root@trinity2 ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 r8169
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
options snd-card-0 index=0

Webcam

On my Asus Z99Jseries (like a A8JN)
to make webcam work you have to install this software:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20070508.tar.gz
This is the home page:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
You have to follow this steps:

wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20070508.tar.gz
tar -zxvf gspcav1-20070508.tar.gz
cd gspcav1-20070508

make
make install
modprobe gspca

Now it work perfectly.
You can try it with vlc

If your image should be strange and with bad color change your
/etc/modprobe.conf :

add this line

options gspca force_rgb=1

else, if your image is too dark, try this line:

options gspca force_rgb=0 gamma=4

when you have a change reload the module before retry

modprobe -r gspca
modprobe gspca


You can change on the fly the gspca parameter here


cd /sys/module/gspca/parameters

Card Reader

Every info from:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SD_and_MMC_card_readers


Lan

Driver only included in newer Kernels (RTL8168b/8111b), Module name “r8169” or alternatively the proprietary Realtek-driver “r1000“.
I recommend to use the build in kernel driver, because it’s making less trouble during an upgrade and it’s working as it should.

TouchPad

Synaptics Touchpad, works with the dafualt configuration obtained after installation (including scrollbars)

ACPI

modprobe asus-laptop
load the correct module, but i had good experience with slackware and
