-== laptop-init-script ==
-[[laptop-init-script]] is small rc.d script located in (/etc/rc.d/laptop-init) i am using to enable/disable laptop optimalizations
-you need to install [[cpufrequtils]], [[pm-utils]] and [[Laptop Mode Tools|laptop-mode-tools]] to use it.
-This script can be instaled from aur (aur/laptop-init-script) or you can find it here:
- #!/bin/bash
- #universal daemon controller
- # general config
- . /etc/rc.conf
- . /etc/rc.d/functions
- case "$1" in
-  start)
-  stat_busy "Enabling cpufreq CPU scaling"
-    #cpufreq-set -g conservative  #less dynamic (saving more power, but slooooow)
-    cpufreq-set -g ondemand   #more dynamic (saving power, when speed is not needed)
-    stat_done
-  stat_busy "Entering laptop mode"
-    echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
-    stat_done
-  stat_busy "Launching pm-powersave true"
-    pm-powersave true
-    stat_done
-    ;;
-  stop)
-  stat_busy "Disabling cpufreq CPU scaling"
-    cpufreq-set -g performance
-    stat_done
-  stat_busy "Leaving laptop mode"
-    echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
-    stat_done
-  stat_busy "Launching pm-powersave false"
-    pm-powersave false
-    stat_done

-  restart)
-  $0 stop
-  sleep 1
-  $0 start
-    ;;
-  *)
-    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
- esac
-You can also update [[/etc/acpi/handler.sh]] to use [[pm-suspend]] (or [[pm-hibernate]]) for sleep button
-== /etc/rc.conf ==
-=== MODULES ===
-Modules needed by some hardware:
- MODULES=(
-  #devices
-  sisfb mii sis900 b43 wacom
-  #sound
-  ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-ac97-codec snd-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0m soundcore !snd-pcsp
-  #usermode
-  tun fuse vboxdrv
-  powernow-k8 cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_stats cpufreq_ondemand
- )
-Note that you need to install some drivers like [[Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter|SiS]] manually by pacman and b43 module (broadcom wifi driver) needs you to manually download and extract latest firmware using [[Wireless_Setup#b43|b43fwcutter]].
-=== DAEMONS ===
-There are few daemons needed by some hardware to run properly...
- DAEMONS=( ... @laptop @gpm @alsa @acpid @cups @cpufreq ... )
-== /etc/X11/xorg.conf ==
-Before editing xorg.conf, you will need to install few drivers:
- xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 (xorg xorg-input-drivers)
-    X.Org keyboard input driver
- xf86-input-mouse 1.3.0-1 (xorg xorg-input-drivers)
-    X.org mouse input driver
- xf86-input-synaptics 0.99.3-1
-    synaptics driver for notebook touchpads
- xf86-video-sis 0.10.1-1 (xorg-video-drivers)
-    X.org SiS video driver
- xf86-video-vesa 2.1.0-1 (xorg xorg-video-drivers)
-    X.org vesa video driver
-You can use this xorg.conf to get your [[Synaptics]] touchpad, USB mouse (or optionally [[wacom]] tablet) and SiS graphical adapter with [[sisctrl]] support working.

-== FBDev (SiSFB FrameBuffer) ==
-=== /boot/grub/menu.lst ===
-If you want have nicer screen resolutin in [[framebuffer]] (textmode), then you have to add this configuration in [[/boot/grub/menu.lst]].
-==== sisfb ====
-If you want to specify your own resolution using custom video driver, then you have to replace ''vga'' option with ''video'' option. For example if you want to user resolution 1280x800 with 32-bit color depth at 76Hz (which is recommended for [[Acer Aspire 3000]]) then you can use this option:
- video=sisfb:mode:1280x800x32,rate:76
-You can also play with memory consumption like this, but its not needed and it can cause some problems, if you don't know what are you doing:
- video=sisfb:mode:1280x800x24,mem:12288,rate:76
-==== vga ====
-Basically you can append this option to the ''kernel'' line in the menu.lst. This should work on any VGA compliant graphical adapter if it will have enough resources. But it will look ugly on widescreens, LCDs and similar, if they don't match the exact VGA resolution and it is better to use ''video=...'' option.
- vga=791
-If you don't like 791 mode, then you can use this:
- vga=ask
-And you will be informed about all modes compatible with your system configuration after reboot.
-So your [[GRUB]] entries in menu.lst should look like this:
- # (0) Arch Linux
- title  Arch Linux
- root   (hd0,0)
- kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/348c69e0-de31-4589-bf0a-276815c5e17a ro resume=/dev/sda3 '''video=sisfb:mode:1280x800x32,rate:76'''
- initrd /kernel26.img
- # (1) Arch Linux
- title  Arch Linux Fallback
- root   (hd0,0)
- kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/348c69e0-de31-4589-bf0a-276815c5e17a ro '''vga=791'''
- initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
-Note that i am using ''vga=791'' option for [[fallback kernel]] because i wan't it to be more '''failproof''' (so it will run in case of corrupted sisfb driver or without SiS graphical adapter). But you can still remove this option using [[GRUB command line]] before [[boot]]ing in case of some problems.
-=== /etc/rc.local ===
-If you are using kernel option ''video=[[sisfb]]:...'' instead of ''vga=...'' then you should add following line to [[/etc/rc.local]], to get better colours in terminal (for example to have nicer images in [[links|links -g]])...
- fbset -a -depth 32
-bit mode should be set from ''video=...'' option in menu.lst, but it shouldn't work every time on every system. So it's better to check it from rc.local. Note this will cause one more "screen blink" during the boot and it will do nothing if sisfb (or any other video module) is not found or used.
-== /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ==
-You can also add sisfb module to mkinitcpio by adding it to the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerating mkinitcpio. This will allow sisfb get loaded before filesystems are mounted, so you will get nice screen resolution much earlier than without it.
- MODULES="pata_acpi pata_sis ata_generic scsi_mod '''sisfb''' ..."
-Simplest way to generate new mkinitcpio is reinstalling the kernel package like:
- pacman -S kernel26
