== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
This page deals with setting up Arch Linux on the Dell Vostro 1400 laptop. Nvidia graphics work excellently with the Nvidia 8400GS with no real hacks. I get about 4400 fps in glxgears.<br />
<br />
== CPU ==<br />
<br />
For the Intel Core 2 Duo (and all laptop cpu's) you must follow the instructions to setup the [[CPU Frequency Scaling]].<br />
<br />
== Network ==<br />
<br />
=== Ethernet ===<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Wireless ===<br />
<br />
To know your exact wireless card you can run:<br />
<pre>lspci | grep Net</pre><br />
<br />
==== mini Dell Wireless / Broadcom based cards ====<br />
<br />
If you have a Broadcom BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (and maybe other flavours) you can follow the installation instructions for [[Broadcom BCM4312]].<br />
<br />
==== Intel based cards ====<br />
<br />
Follow the instructions for the [[Wireless_Setup#iwl3945.2C_iwl4965_and_iwl5000-series|Intel Wifi 4965 chipset]]<br />
<br />
== Graphics ==<br />
<br />
First of all it is necessary to install the Xorg server. The easiest way to do this is by entering the following command as root:<br />
pacman -Sy xorg<br />
<br />
Press Y to install all the packages and wait for the download to finish.<br />
<br />
=== Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS ===<br />
<br />
The proprietry Nvidia drivers are setup very easily for the GeForce 8400M GS. Having installed Xorg (see above) you type in this command into the console as root:<br />
pacman -S nvidia<br />
<br />
After it has finished downloading you need to configure the Nvidia drivers. You will need to be logged in as root.<br />
Enter the following command:<br />
nvidia-config<br />
<br />
Now, open up /etc/X11/XF86Config in a text editor and comment out the line; ''Load "type1"''. For this example we'll use nano:<br />
nano /etc/X11/XF86Config<br />
<br />
and comment it out with a hash (#) symble like so:<br />
# Load "type1"<br />
<br />
You should now have successfully setup the Nvidia drivers.</div>Kilolimahttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Talk:Dell_Vostro_1400&diff=64505Talk:Dell Vostro 14002009-03-08T10:48:21Z<p>Kilolima: Blanked the page</p>
