<br />
=Introduction=<br />
It's been some time since I started this little HOWTO but now I'm back to finish it. In the meantime [[Acer Aspire 1652 ZWLMi]] was written based on those few lines which had been here, and now I've used few other things from that article again here.<br />
I'm not a linux expert, this is based on my experience and on things I found by googling. I'm still learning. If you see any inaccuracy or even a complete nonsense, please correct it.<br />
<br />

==Wireless==<br />
Install driver:<br />
# pacman -S ipw2200-fw <br />
Get WiFi LED signalization working:<br />
# echo "options ipw2200 led=1" > /etc/modprobe.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
=Power Management=<br />
==ACPI==<br />
Install ACPI daemon and start it.<br />
# pacman -S acpid<br />
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start<br />
Also add <tt>acpid</tt> to the DAEMONS line in your <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> (note that this is not necessary if you already have <tt>hal</tt> in there since <tt>acpid</tt> has been added to its starting script).<br />
<br />
<br />
I found out that when booted with ACPI on, the laptop makes kind of high frequency noise which can be really annoying when you work in otherwise quiet room. There is no such noise when you boot with <tt>acpi=off</tt>. I searched for a solution and I found this:<br />
<br />
Pass this to the kernel by changing your <tt>/boot/grub/menu.lst</tt> (the whole entry should look something like this):<br />
title Arch Linux Beyond<br />
root (hd0,0)<br />
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda3 ro '''pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios'''<br />
initrd /kernel26beyond.img<br />
Many thanks for the trick should go to [http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21232.html andreas_mauser] on ubuntu forums [http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21232.html].<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
EDIT: The trick above doesn't work with newer kernels (2.6.21 and higher?) anymore. Instead, add this line to <tt>/etc/modprobe.conf</tt>:<br />
<br />
options processor max_cstate=2<br />
<br />
Then re-generate the initramfs image (see [[Configuring mkinitcpio#Creating the image]]). Reboot, and check if things work:<br />
<br />
$ cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power |grep max_cstate<br />
max_cstate: C2<br />
<br />
In this case, many thanks for finding solution go to [http://www.inliniac.net/blog/2008/07/25/fixing-noise-on-ubuntu-hardy-804-aka-setting-max_cstate.html Victor Julien]<br />
[http://www.inliniac.net/blog/2008/07/25/fixing-noise-on-ubuntu-hardy-804-aka-setting-max_cstate.html]<br />
<br />
NB: You should know that any of these solutions will reduce the battery life, so it seems so far that you need to choose which one is more important for you: either the longer-lasting battery or the quiet laptop.<br />
You can find more information about the whole problem concerning high pitch noise and ACPI CPU power saving states [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_high_pitch_noises here]<br />

<br />
==CPU frequency scaling==<br />
There are various ways how to do this (see e.g. [[SpeedStep]]), I use this one because it's clear and simple:<br />
<br />
Install <tt>cpufrequtils</tt><br />
# pacman -S cpufrequtils<br />
<br />
Edit <tt>/etc/conf.d/cpufreq</tt> <br />
(Maximum frequency of my processor is 1.5GHz although the sticker on the laptop was saying "1.6Ghz". Strange. Check yours, maybe I have some weird "edition"...).<br />
<br />
Note that configuring the options min_freq and max_freq is optional, you may just comment it, since the kernel is able to figure them out.<br />
<br />
#configuration for cpufreq control<br />
<br />
# valid governors:<br />
# ondemand, performance, powersave,<br />
# conservative, userspace<br />
governor="ondemand"<br />
<br />
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz<br />
min_freq="'''600Mhz'''"<br />
max_freq="'''1.5GHz'''"<br />
<br />
Load the <tt>acpi_cpufreq</tt> module using <tt>modprobe</tt>. Alternatively, you can add it to the MODULES list in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> to load it at boot time. Don't forget to add <tt>cpufreq</tt> to the DAEMONS array.<br />
<br />
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network netfs crond @hal fam @ifplugd '''cpufreq''' firestarter alsa gdm)<br />
<br />
=Xorg=<br />
<br />
To make the touchpad work, edit your xorg.conf following this howto: [[Touchpad Synaptics]]. You may need to replace "AllwaysCore" with "SendCoreEvents" in the Section "ServerLayout" [http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39492].<br />
<br />
(Also look here for a useful trick: [http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/ Disable touchpad temporarily when typing])<br />
<br />
=Special keys=<br />
To use all the keyboard's special keys, I've installed keytouch<br />
# pacman -S keytouch<br />
# put keytouch in DAEMONS array in rc.conf<br />
# put in your autostart something like keytouchd &<br />
# Save the following file as /usr/share/keytouch/keyboards/Aspire 1690.Acer<br />

Install driver:<br />

==ACPI==<br />
Install ACPI daemon and start it.<br />
# pacman -S acpid<br />
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start<br />
Also add <tt>acpid</tt> to the DAEMONS line in your <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> (note that this is not necessary if you already have <tt>hal</tt> in there since <tt>acpid</tt> has been added to its starting script).<br />
<br />
<br />
I found out that when booted with ACPI on, the laptop makes kind of high frequency noise which can be really annoying when you work in otherwise quiet room. There is no such noise when you boot with <tt>acpi=off</tt>. I searched for a solution and I found this:<br />
<br />
Pass this to the kernel by changing your <tt>/boot/grub/menu.lst</tt> (the whole entry should look something like this):<br />
title Arch Linux Beyond<br />
root (hd0,0)<br />
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda3 ro '''pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios'''<br />

Many thanks for the trick should go to andreas_mauser on ubuntu forums [http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21232.html].<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
Edit: The trick above doesn't work with newer kernels (2.6.21 and higher?) anymore. Instead, add this line to <tt>/etc/modprobe.conf</tt>:<br />
<br />
options processor max_cstate=2<br />
<br />
Then re-generate the initramfs image (see [[Configuring_mkinitcpio#Creating_the_image]]).<br />
<br />
You should know that any of these solutions will reduce the battery life, so it seems so far that you need to choose which one is more important for you: either the longer-lasting battery or the quiet laptop.<br />
<br />
You can find more information about the whole problem concerning high pitch noise and ACPI CPU power saving states here [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_high_pitch_noises]<br />
<br />
==CPU frequency scaling==<br />
There are various ways how to do this (see e.g. [[SpeedStep]]), I use this one because it's clear and simple:<br />
<br />
Install <tt>cpufrequtils</tt><br />
# pacman -S cpufrequtils<br />
<br />
Edit <tt>/etc/conf.d/cpufreq</tt> <br />
(Maximum frequency of my processor is 1.5GHz although the sticker on the laptop was saying "1.6Ghz". Strange. Check yours, maybe I have some weird "edition"...).<br />
<br />
Note that configuring the options min_freq and max_freq is optional, you may just comment it, since the kernel is able to figure them out.<br />
<br />
#configuration for cpufreq control<br />
<br />
# valid governors:<br />
# ondemand, performance, powersave,<br />
# conservative, userspace<br />
governor="ondemand"<br />
<br />
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz<br />
min_freq="'''600Mhz'''"<br />
max_freq="'''1.5GHz'''"<br />
<br />
Load the <tt>acpi_cpufreq</tt> module using <tt>modprobe</tt>. Alternatively, you can add it to the MODULES list in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> to load it at boot time. Don't forget to add <tt>cpufreq</tt> to the DAEMONS array.<br />

=Xorg=<br />
<br />
To make the touchpad work, edit your xorg.conf following this howto: [[Touchpad Synaptics]]. You may need to replace "AllwaysCore" with "SendCoreEvents" in the Section "ServerLayout" [http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39492].<br />

<br />
=Special keys=<br />
To use all the keyboard's special keys, I've installed keytouch<br />
# pacman -S keytouch<br />
# put keytouch in DAEMONS array in rc.conf<br />
# put in your autostart something like keytouchd &<br />

Edit: The trick above doesn't seem to work with newer kernels (2.6.21 and higher?) anymore. Instead, try adding this line to <tt>/etc/rc.local</tt>:<br />
echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate<br />
This solution was suggested by Sigi in the forum [http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29825]. Note that in his case setting max_cstate to 3 was enough to get rid of the noise, however on this Acer laptop setting it to 2 seems to be necessary.<br />
<br />

Edit <tt>/etc/conf.d/cpufreq</tt> <br />
(Maximum frequency of my processor is 1.5GHz although the sticker on the laptop was saying "1.6Ghz". Strange. Check yours, maybe I have some weird "edition"...).<br />
<br />
Note that configuring the options min_freq and max_freq is optional, you may just comment it, since the kernel is able to figure them out.<br />
<br />
#configuration for cpufreq control<br />
<br />
# valid governors:<br />
# ondemand, performance, powersave,<br />
# conservative, userspace<br />
governor="ondemand"<br />
<br />
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz<br />
min_freq="'''600Mhz'''"<br />
max_freq="'''1.5GHz'''"<br />
<br />
Load the <tt>acpi_cpufreq</tt> module using <tt>modprobe</tt>. Alternatively, you can add it to the MODULES list in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> to load it at boot time. Don't forget to add <tt>cpufreq</tt> to the DAEMONS array.<br />

=Xorg=<br />
<br />
To make the touchpad work, edit your xorg.conf following this howto: [[Touchpad Synaptics]]. You may need to replace "AllwaysCore" with "SendCoreEvents" in the Section "ServerLayout" [http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39492].<br />

<br />
=Special keys=<br />
To use all the keyboard's special keys, I've installed keytouch<br />
# pacman -S keytouch<br />
# put keytouch in DAEMONS array in rc.conf<br />
# put in your autostart something like keytouchd &<br />

[[Category:HOWTOs (English)]]<br />
<br />
=Introduction=<br />
It's been some time since I started this little HOWTO but now I'm back to finish it. In the meantime [[Acer Aspire 1652 ZWLMi]] was written based on those few lines which had been here, and now I've used few other things from that article again here.<br />
I'm not a linux expert, this is based on my experience and on things I found by googling. I'm still learning. If you see any inaccuracy or even a complete nonsense, please correct it.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Hardware=<br />
'''Processor:''' Intel Pentium M (Centrino) 1.50GHz<br />
<br />
'''Video:''' Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Chipset<br />
<br />
'''Audio:''' Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio <br />
<br />
'''Wired NIC:''' Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5788 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03)<br />
<br />
''' Wireless NIC:''' Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)<br />
<br />
<br />
=Kernel=<br />
To get all the things working, use Beyond kernel. Since it's discontinued, just use the standard kernel.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Networking=<br />
<br />
==Wireless==<br />
Install driver:<br />
# pacman -S ipw2200-fw <br />
Get WiFi LED signalization working:<br />
# echo "options ipw2200 led=1" > /etc/modprobe.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
=Power Management=<br />
==ACPI==<br />
Install ACPI daemon and start it.<br />
# pacman -S acpid<br />
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start<br />
Also add <tt>acpid</tt> to the DAEMONS line in your <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> (note that this is not necessary if you already have <tt>hal</tt> in there since <tt>acpid</tt> has been added to its starting script).<br />
<br />
<br />
I found out that when booted with ACPI on, the laptop makes kind of high frequency noise which can be really annoying when you work in otherwise quiet room. There is no such noise when you boot with <tt>acpi=off</tt>. I searched for a solution and I found this:<br />
<br />
Pass this to the kernel by changing your <tt>/boot/grub/menu.lst</tt> (the whole entry should look something like this):<br />
title Arch Linux Beyond<br />
root (hd0,0)<br />
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda3 ro '''pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios'''<br />
initrd /kernel26beyond.img<br />
Many thanks for the trick should go to andreas_mauser on ubuntu forums [http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21232.html].<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
Edit: The trick above doesn't seem to work with newer kernels (2.6.21 and higher?) anymore. Instead, try adding this line to <tt>/etc/rc.local</tt>:<br />
echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate<br />
This solution was suggested by Sigi in the forum [http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29825]. Note that in his case setting max_cstate to 3 was enough to get rid of the noise, however on this Acer laptop setting it to 2 seems to be necessary.<br />
<br />
You should know that any of these solutions will reduce the battery life, so it seems so far that you need to choose which one is more important for you: either the longer-lasting battery or the quiet laptop.<br />

<br />
=Introduction=<br />
It's been some time since I started this little HOWTO but now I'm back to finish it. In the meantime [[Acer Aspire 1652 ZWLMi]] was written based on those few lines which had been here, and now I've used few other things from that article again here.<br />
I'm not a linux expert, this is based on my experience and on things I found by googling. I'm still learning. If you see any inaccuracy or even a complete nonsense, please correct it.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Hardware=<br />
'''Processor:''' Intel Pentium M (Centrino) 1.50GHz<br />
<br />
'''Video:''' Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Chipset<br />
<br />
'''Audio:''' Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio <br />

<br />
''' Wireless NIC:''' Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)<br />
<br />
<br />
=Kernel=<br />
To get all the things working, use Beyond kernel. Since it's discontinued, just use the standard kernel.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Networking=<br />
<br />
==Wireless==<br />
Install driver:<br />
# pacman -S ipw2200-fw <br />
Get WiFi LED signalization working:<br />
# echo "options ipw2200 led=1" > /etc/modprobe.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
=Power Management=<br />
==ACPI==<br />
Install ACPI daemon and start it.<br />
# pacman -S acpid<br />
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start<br />
Also add <tt>acpid</tt> to the DAEMONS line in your <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> (note that this is not necessary if you already have <tt>hal</tt> in there since <tt>acpid</tt> has been added to its starting script).<br />
<br />
<br />
I found out that when booted with ACPI on, the laptop makes kind of high frequency noise which can be really annoying when you work in otherwise quiet room. There is no such noise when you boot with <tt>acpi=off</tt>. I searched for a solution and I found this:<br />
<br />
Pass this to the kernel by changing your <tt>/boot/grub/menu.lst</tt> (the whole entry should look something like this):<br />
title Arch Linux Beyond<br />
root (hd0,0)<br />
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda3 ro '''pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios'''<br />
initrd /kernel26beyond.img<br />
Many thanks for the trick should go to andreas_mauser on ubuntu forums [http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21232.html].<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
Edit: The trick above doesn't seem to work with newer kernels (2.6.21 and higher?) anymore. Instead, try adding this line to <tt>/etc/rc.local</tt>:<br />
echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate<br />
This solution was suggested by Sigi in the forum [http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29825]. Note that in his case setting max_cstate to 3 was enough to get rid of the noise, however on this Acer laptop setting it to 2 seems to be necessary.<br />
<br />
You should know that any of these solutions will reduce the battery life, so it seems so far that you need to choose which one is more important for you: either the longer-lasting battery or the quiet laptop.<br />
<br />
You can find more information about the whole problem concerning high pitch noise and ACPI CPU power saving states here [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_high_pitch_noises]<br />
<br />
==CPU frequency scaling==<br />
There are various ways how to do this (see e.g. [[SpeedStep]]), I use this one because it's clear and simple:<br />
<br />
Install <tt>cpufrequtils</tt><br />
# pacman -S cpufrequtils<br />
<br />
Edit <tt>/etc/conf.d/cpufreq</tt> <br />
(Maximum frequency of my processor is 1.5GHz although the sticker on the laptop was saying "1.6Ghz". Strange. Check yours, maybe I have some weird "edition"...).<br />
<br />
Note that configuring the options min_freq and max_freq is optional, you may just comment it, since the kernel is able to figure them out.<br />
<br />
#configuration for cpufreq control<br />
<br />
# valid governors:<br />
# ondemand, performance, powersave,<br />
# conservative, userspace<br />
governor="ondemand"<br />
<br />
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz<br />
min_freq="'''600Mhz'''"<br />
max_freq="'''1.5GHz'''"<br />
<br />
Load the <tt>speedstep_centrino</tt> module using <tt>modprobe</tt>. Alternatively, you can add it to the MODULES list in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> to load it at boot time. Don't forget to add <tt>cpufreq</tt> to the DAEMONS array.<br />
<br />
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network netfs crond @hal fam @ifplugd '''cpufreq''' firestarter alsa gdm)<br />
<br />
=Xorg=<br />
<br />
To make the touchpad work, edit your xorg.conf following this howto: [[Touchpad Synaptics]]<br />
<br />
(Also look here for a useful trick: [http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/ Disable touchpad temporarily when typing])<br />
<br />
=Special keys=<br />
To use all the keyboard's special keys, I've installed keytouch<br />
# pacman -S keytouch<br />
# put keytouch in DAEMONS array in rc.conf<br />
# put in your autostart something like keytouchd &<br />
# Save the following file as /usr/share/keytouch/keyboards/Aspire 1690.Acer<br />

<br />
=Introduction=<br />
It's been some time since I started this little HOWTO but now I'm back to finish it. In the meantime [[Acer Aspire 1652 ZWLMi]] was written based on those few lines which had been here, and now I've used few other things from that article again here.<br />
I'm not a linux expert, this is based on my experience and on things I found by googling. I'm still learning. If you see any inaccuracy or even a complete nonsense, please correct it.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Hardware=<br />
'''Processor:''' Intel Pentium M (Centrino) 1.50GHz<br />
<br />
'''Video:''' Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Chipset<br />
<br />
'''Audio:''' Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio <br />
<br />
'''Wired NIC:''' Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5788 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03)<br />
<br />
''' Wireless NIC:''' Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)<br />
<br />
<br />
=Kernel=<br />
To get all the things working, use Beyond kernel. Since it's discontinued, just use the standard kernel.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Networking=<br />
<br />
==Wireless==<br />
Install driver:<br />
# pacman -S ipw2200-fw <br />
Get WiFi LED signalization working:<br />
# echo "options ipw2200 led=1" > /etc/modprobe.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
=Power Management=<br />
==ACPI==<br />
Install ACPI daemon and start it.<br />
# pacman -S acpid<br />
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start<br />
Also add <tt>acpid</tt> to the DAEMONS line in your <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> (note that this is not necessary if you already have <tt>hal</tt> in there since <tt>acpid</tt> has been added to its starting script).<br />
<br />
<br />
I found out that when booted with ACPI on, the laptop makes kind of high frequency noise which can be really annoying when you work in otherwise quiet room. There is no such noise when you boot with <tt>acpi=off</tt>. I searched for a solution and I found this:<br />
<br />
Pass this to the kernel by changing your <tt>/boot/grub/menu.lst</tt> (the whole entry should look something like this):<br />
title Arch Linux Beyond<br />
root (hd0,0)<br />
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda3 ro '''pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios'''<br />
initrd /kernel26beyond.img<br />
Many thanks for the trick should go to andreas_mauser on ubuntu forums [http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21232.html].<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
Edit: The trick above doesn't seem to work with newer kernels (2.6.21 and higher?) anymore. Instead, try adding this line to <tt>/etc/rc.local</tt>:<br />
echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate<br />
This solution was suggested by Sigi in the forum [http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29825]. Note that in his case setting max_cstate to 3 was enough to get rid of the noise, however on this Acer laptop setting it to 2 seems to be necessary.<br />
<br />
You should know that any of these solutions will reduce the battery life, so it seems so far that you need to choose which one is more important for you: either the longer-lasting battery or the quiet laptop.<br />
<br />
You can find more information about the whole problem concerning high pitch noise and ACPI CPU power saving states here [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_high_pitch_noises#Affected_Models]<br />
<br />
==CPU frequency scaling==<br />
There are various ways how to do this (see e.g. [[SpeedStep]]), I use this one because it's clear and simple:<br />
<br />
Install <tt>cpufrequtils</tt><br />
# pacman -S cpufrequtils<br />
<br />
Edit <tt>/etc/conf.d/cpufreq</tt> <br />
(Maximum frequency of my processor is 1.5GHz although the sticker on the laptop was saying "1.6Ghz". Strange. Check yours, maybe I have some weird "edition"...); note that configuring the options min_freq and max_freq is optional, you may just comment it, since the kernel is able to figure them out.<br />
<br />
#configuration for cpufreq control<br />
<br />
# valid governors:<br />
# ondemand, performance, powersave,<br />
# conservative, userspace<br />
governor="ondemand"<br />
<br />
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz<br />
min_freq="'''600Mhz'''"<br />
max_freq="'''1.5GHz'''"<br />
<br />
Load the <tt>speedstep_centrino</tt> module using <tt>modprobe</tt>. Alternatively, you can add it to the MODULES list in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> to load it at boot time. Don't forget to add <tt>cpufreq</tt> to the DAEMONS array.<br />
<br />
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network netfs crond @hal fam @ifplugd '''cpufreq''' firestarter alsa gdm)<br />
<br />
=Xorg=<br />
<br />
To make the touchpad work, edit your xorg.conf following this howto: [[Touchpad Synaptics]]<br />
<br />
(Also look here for a useful trick: [http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/ Disable touchpad temporarily when typing])<br />
<br />
=Special keys=<br />
To use all the keyboard's special keys, I've installed keytouch<br />
# pacman -S keytouch<br />
# put keytouch in DAEMONS array in rc.conf<br />
# put in your autostart something like keytouchd &<br />
# Save the following file as /usr/share/keytouch/keyboards/Aspire 1690.Acer<br />

=Introduction=<br />
It's been some time since I started this little HOWTO but now I'm back to finish it. In the meantime [[Acer Aspire 1652 ZWLMi]] was written based on those few lines which had been here, and now I've used few other things from that article again here.<br />
I'm not a linux expert, this is based on my experience and on things I found by googling. I'm still learning. If you see any inaccuracy or even a complete nonsense, please correct it.<br />

I found out that when booted with ACPI on, the laptop makes kind of high frequency noise which can be really annoying when you work in otherwise quiet room. There is no such noise when you boot with <tt>acpi=off</tt>. I searched for a solution and I found this:<br />

Load the <tt>speedstep_centrino</tt> module using <tt>modprobe</tt>. Alternatively, you can add it to the MODULES list in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> to load it at boot time. Don't forget to add <tt>cpufreq</tt> to the DAEMONS array.<br />

==ACPI==<br />
Install ACPI daemon and start it.<br />
# pacman -S acpid<br />
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start<br />
Also add <tt>acpid</tt> to the DAEMONS line in you <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> (note that this is not necessary if you already have <tt>hal</tt> in there since <tt>acpid</tt> has been added to its starting script).<br />
<br />
<br />
I found out that when booted with ACPI on, the laptop makes kind of high frequency noise which can be really annoying when you work in otherwise quiet room. There is no such noise when you boot with <tt>acpi=off</tt>. I searched for a solution and I found this:<br />
<br />
Pass this to the kernel by changing your <tt>/boot/grub/menu.lst</tt> (the whole entry should look something like this):<br />

root (hd0,0)<br />
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda3 ro '''pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios'''<br />

==CPU frequency scaling==<br />
There are various ways how to do this (see e.g. [[SpeedStep]]), but I like this one:<br />
<br />
Install <tt>cpufrequtils</tt><br />
# pacman -S cpufrequtils<br />
<br />
Edit <tt>/etc/conf.d/cpufreq</tt><br />
<br />
#configuration for cpufreq control<br />
<br />
# valid governors:<br />
# ondemand, performance, powersave,<br />
# conservative, userspace<br />
governor="ondemand"<br />
<br />
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz<br />
min_freq="600Mhz"<br />
max_freq="1.5GHz"<br />
<br />
Load the <tt>speedstep_centrino</tt> module using <tt>modprobe</tt>. Alternatively, you can add it to the MODULES list in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt> to load it at boot time. Don't forget to add <tt>cpufreq</tt> to the DAEMONS array.<br />
