<div>Is it worth mentioning that the user needs to blacklist the nouveau module to get the intel graphics working with xorg? This may be obvious for some but took me a while to figure out myself. Thanks.<br />
:Yep, you're right. I made the page a long time after my installation, and I didn't remember that. Thanks! 04:27, 30 January 2012 (EST) [[User:Grubshka|Grubshka]]<br />
<br />
I also, have this laptop, would be interesting to see a suggested/your configuration for laptop-mode/cpufreq/pmutils etc! 12:06, 17 March 2012 (CET) [[User:Lalala|lalala]]</div>Lalalahttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Talk:ASUS_N55SF&diff=189762Talk:ASUS N55SF2012-03-17T11:07:39Z<p>Lalala: </p>

<br />
==Hardware==<br />
''CPU:'' Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.00GHz<br />
<br />
''Mainboard:'' Intel HM65 Express<br />
<br />
''RAM:'' 6/8GB DDR3<br />
<br />
''Display:'' 15,6" HD LED (1920x1080)<br />
<br />
''Graphics adapter:'' Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller, NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M<br />
<br />
''Soundcard:'' Integrated Intel HDA, Bang & Olufsen speakers with external subwoofer<br />
<br />
''Network:'' Atheros Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030<br />
<br />
''Hard disk:'' Seagate Momentus 750GB 5400rpm SATA<br />
<br />
''Webcam:'' IMC Networks<br />
<br />
''Touchpad:'' Synaptics <br />
<br />
==Configuration==<br />
<br />
There is a BIOS update (v207) on Asus support website (go to the english one if you don't find) that fix the numpad bug.<br />
<br />
===CPU===<br />
Works out of the box.<br />
<br />
Follow the [[CPU Frequency Scaling]] guide to enable speed-stepping.<br />
Processor has Intel Turbo Boost which works out of the box, but you can't see the frequencies above 2.4GHz in /proc/cpuinfo. To see the actual frequency [[pacman|install]] {{Pkg|i7z}}.<br />
<br />
===Video===<br />
====Intel====<br />
Follow these guides: [[Xorg]] and [[Intel]].<br />
You will need to blacklist the nouveau driver (the kernel detects the nvidia card and loads it). Bumblebee will load it as needed, see next section.<br />
<pre><br />
#File: "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf".<br />
blacklist nouveau<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
====Nvidia====<br />
The official proprietary nvidia drivers for linux do not support Nvidia Optimus yet, but there is a workaround in the form of {{AUR|bumblebee}}.<br />
It enables the use of Nvidia graphic card via virtualgl. Just follow the instructions for setting up [[bumblebee]] in our wiki.<br />
<br />
Bumblebee does not include power management features, you can turn it on installing {{AUR|bbswitch}}, and enabling bbswitch module in /etc/rc.conf.<br />
<br />
====Outputs====<br />
VGA untested.<br />
<br />
HDMI not working, but still testing. I'm not sure if it can work on this laptop. See https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/FAQ.<br />
<br />
===Audio===<br />
Follow the official documentation: [[ALSA]] and/or [[Pulseaudio]]<br />
<br />
The external subwoofer is not working, investigation needed.<br />
<br />
===Touchpad===<br />
Follow the [[Synaptics]] guide.<br />
<br />
===Webcam===<br />
Working.<br />
<br />
===Power management===<br />
USB prevents system suspend, you need to edit or create {{ic|/etc/pm/config.d/usb3-suspend-workaround}} with:<br />
<pre><br />
#File: "/etc/pm/config.d/usb3-suspend-workaround".<br />
SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci_hcd ehci_hcd"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
There is also a freezing bug with USB and laptop-mode when shutting down on battery.<br />
You can fix it by removing USB modules on shutdown:<br />
<pre><br />
#File: "/etc/rc.local.shutdown".<br />
rmmod xhci_hcd ehci_hcd<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
There is [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1005062#p1005062 a bug with the screen suspend]: when it wakes up, you may see a white screen, with the LEDs becoming grey. It only happens with the DPMS off command, not the DPMS suspend.</div>Lalalahttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=ASUS_N55SF&diff=189756ASUS N55SF2012-03-17T11:05:01Z<p>Lalala: </p>
