==Introduction==<br />
I wanted a small and fast laptop that's capable of running Linux. My choice is a HP Compaq nc4400 since the Lenovo Thinkpad X-serie is too expensive. <br />
This HP and the Lenovo Thinkpad have a lot in common, for example they both sport a pointing stick and both lack an optical (cd/dvd) drive. <br />
My goal was to leave the pre-installed WinXP on the laptop and install Arch from an usb stick since I don't own an USB cd/dvd drive. <br />

===What works/What doesn't===<br />
<br />
Pretty much everything needed works when you tweak. This wiki is an excellent source of infomation. :)<br />
On windows the network controller (nextreme) can be "safely removed" to save power. I think you can do the same in linux with "rmmod tg3". <br />
<br />
For the right console display size I set vga=792 (1024x768x16M@60Hz) as a kernel boot parameter.<br />
<br />
There's hardware mute and volume up/down buttons. They work but odly every time I reboot it's always back to mute. More like a feature than a bug.<br />
<br />
The fn+brighter/dimmer display buttons and the Ambient Light Sensor work software independent.<br />
<br />
In my understanding, the TPM doesn't show anywhere even tho there's a kernel module for the infineon TPM. I haven't tried to make it work and probably won't even try.<br />
I believe the Irda and modem work as expected, haven't tested.<br />
<br />
I haven't tried to use an external monitor/TV, I expect making those work is just matter of confing.<br />
<br />
The ICH7 family sports a hpet multimedia timer that saves power. Kernel boot parameter hpet=force just in case.<br />
<br />
Bluetooth works (kdebluetooth, but probably also gnome-bluetooth).<br />
<br />
Cpu frequency scaling works. (cpufrequtils with the p4_clockmod module).<br />
<br />
==Xorg configuration==<br />
The i810 driver works for graphics (and the intel driver, but I (Tkjacobsen) find it buggy with composite)<br />
<pre><br />
pacman -S xf86-video-i810<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Use [[Touchpad_Synaptics]] to tune the touthpad.<br />
<br />
==Wifi==<br />
The iwlwifi drivers works (also with (k)networkmanager).<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
pacman -S iwlwifi iwlwifi-3945-ucode<br />
modprobe iwl3945<br />
</pre><br />
Or put it in your MODULES line.<br />
<br />
<br />
==SD/MMC memory card reader==<br />
This works with the tifm driver.<br />
<pre><br />
modprobe tifm_core<br />
modprobe tifm_7xx1<br />
modprobe tifm_sd<br />
</pre><br />
Or you can put them in the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf<br />
<br />
==HDD failing sensors==<br />
See the [[Smart]] howto.<br />
This line in /etc/smartd.conf does the job for me (Tkjacobsen):<br />
<pre><br />
/dev/sda -a -d sat -m root@localhost<br />
</pre> <br />
<br />
===ToDo===<br />
* The fingerprint reader is via USB, haven't looked into that yet either.<br />

==Introduction==<br />
I wanted a small and fast laptop that's capable of running Linux. My choice is a HP Compaq nc4400 since the Lenovo Thinkpad X-serie is too expensive. <br />
This HP and the Lenovo Thinkpad have a lot in common, for example they both sport a pointing stick and both lack an optical (cd/dvd) drive. <br />
My goal was to leave the pre-installed WinXP on the laptop and install Arch from an usb stick since I don't own an USB cd/dvd drive. <br />
