FC10 on Latitude E6400

Installing Fedora Core 10 on a Latitude E6400 is easy as one two three!

After installing, updating, adding Yum Configuration and installing Broadcom Linux STA Driver

all *basic* functionality seems to be working:

  • wireless and wired networking
  • touchpad and mouse gestures
  • optimal resolution
  • 3-d direct rendering at 1k+ frames per second + desktop effects
  • hotkeys for display brightness, volume, print screen, etc..
  • SD card reader

 

yayee for gnu/linux and fedora!!

Bug 1:

After leaving the laptop idle for 30 minutes or so while connected to AC power i came back to find the laptop completely unresponsive.  Only a hard reboot (holding power button down for 2 seconds) was able to recover control.  Changing the power settings to "do nothing" no matter how long it has been idle has not resolved the issue.

Bug 2:

Computer froze during workspace switching.  Disabling 3-d effects seems to have resolved this.
