What works/What does not
Pretty much everything works on this laptop except the TV-out and the SD-card reader. The screen needs a little tweaking to get working. The preferred resolution (1280x768) is not part of the VBIOS, and consequently the VBIOS needs to be patched with Alain Poirier's software 855resolution (to be found in the AUR).
Video
In order to get the video working fine at 1280x768 you need to patch the VBIOS with Alain Poirier's 855resolution for which there is a PKGBUILD in the AUR. This application allows you to replace any of the modes in the VBIOS with something else. After you have compiled the package and installed it, run the following command.
855resolution 5c 1280 768
This will replace mode 5c with 1280 768. You can list the modes with
855resolution -l
which should return something like this:
855resolution version 0.4, by Alain Poirier Chipset: 855GM (id=0x35808086) VBIOS type: 2 VBIOS Version: 3181 Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 bits/pixel Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3c : 1280x768, 8 bits/pixel Mode 41 : 640x480, 16 bits/pixel Mode 43 : 800x600, 16 bits/pixel Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4d : 1280x768, 16 bits/pixel Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5c : 1280x768, 32 bits/pixel
Before everything is set, you will also need to add the proper modelines in xorg.conf. This is done in the monitor section
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "InternalMonitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
Modeline "1280x768" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795
Modeline "1024x768" 65.00 1024 1047 1183 1343 768 770 776 805
EndSection
Audio
The audio is really not a big deal, at least not if you use ALSA (which is the only sound system I have ever used under Linux). The only weirdness is that the Master channel has no effect on the sound, you have to play around with the Headphone and PCM channels in order to set the sound.
Wireless Network
Wireless network is an Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG and has very good Linux drivers nowadays. If you are using the stock arch kernel, all you need to do is
pacman -S ipw2200
and add the proper modules to your rc.conf (see the rc.conf section of this page) if you are not using hotplug or hwd.
Card Readers
PCMCIA
As far as I have understood from other reports, the pcmcia card works as expected. I do not have one at this time, so I cannot confirm it.
Compact Flash
The same goes for the Compact Flash. It is supposed to work as it uses the same interfaces as the PCMCIA does, but I cannot confirm anything since I do not have a CF-card.
Secure Digital
There is now a driver in alpha test stage on Sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdricohcs/ it supports only the SD Card driver so far and must be compiled from source. Arch packages found here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=9884.
Important Config files
cpufreqd.conf
I have had quite a hard time deciding what the best cpufreqd setup would be for me. Right now I am using this:
# this is a comment # # you need: 1 [General] section, # 1 or more [Profile] sections # 1 or more [Rule] sections # # a section ends at the first blank line # # [Rule] sample: # [Rule] # name=sample_rule # ac=on # (on/off) # battery_interval=0-10 # cpu_interval=30-60 # programs=xine,mplayer # profile=sample_profile # # [Profile] sample: # [Profile] # name=sample_profile # minfreq=10% # maxfreq=100% # policy=performance # # see CPUFREQD.CONF(5) manpage for a complete reference [General] pidfile=/var/run/cpufreqd.pid poll_interval=2 pm_type=acpi #(acpi, apm or pmu) # Uncomment the following line to enable ACPI workaround (see cpufreqd.conf(5)) # acpi_workaround=1 verbosity=5 #(if you want a minimal logging set to 5) [Profile] name=hi_boost minfreq=1000000 maxfreq=1200000 policy=performance [Profile] name=medium_boost minfreq=800000 maxfreq=1000000 policy=conservative [Profile] name=lo_boost minfreq=600000 maxfreq=800000 policy=performance [Profile] name=lo_power minfreq=0 maxfreq=600000 policy=powersave # conservative mode when not AC [Rule] name=low_bat_conservative ac=off battery_interval=0-100 cpu_interval=0-35 profile=lo_power #[Rule] name=conservative ac=off # (on/off) battery_interval=0-100 cpu_interval=35-60 profile=lo_boost # need some power [Rule] name=lo_cpu_boost ac=off # (on/off) battery_interval=0-100 cpu_interval=60-80 profile=medium_boost # need big power (not if battery very low) [Rule] name=hi_cpu_boost ac=off # (on/off) battery_interval=50-100 cpu_interval=80-100 profile=hi_boost full power when AC [Rule] name=AC_on ac=on # (on/off) profile=hi_boost
rc.conf (modules array)
This is just a starting point, you might want to load other modules or you might have some of these compiled into the kernel.

Other Tweaks
I have a repository with some tweaked packages. Most noticably, there is an archck8-kernel, compiled for the lifebook p7010, as well as other packages compiled for the pentium-m processor (which could be used for other laptops too), such as a few of the KDE 3.4.3 packages, e17, and a few other things. Information on how to use my repository can be found here
