Ok so; here's a new thread with a more 'open' (I know direct Subjects are better but I only received the machine and don't know what works and what doesn't yet) subject.

First up the system has a combined headphone/mic port using the 4 pin 3.5mm jack format.

I get a pop when disconnecting my headphones so at least ground works

- however, there is no sound.

Reading on Google everything seemed to be find using Ubuntu and Gentoo so I'm sure that this can/is fixed somehow.

Here's the lscpi -vv for it:

The scrollbar on the trackpad doesn't seem to be working either so not sure if that's a driver I need to install or if I need to configure fluxbox or Xorg with the Synaptic driver and activate something?

As said at the beginning I don't know what works and what doesn't yet as I haven't had a chance to test as had machine for about 12 hours now with some of that time spent catching Z's!

Thanks for any assistance.

[EDIT]
Does anyone know the name for the fingerprint reader driver (if it has been added to the repos)?

Also the mobile broadband driver - should be WiMax 4G?

[EDIT]

Regarding the mobile broadband - I managed to find this:

http://mbm.sourceforge.net/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mbm/files/mbm-drivers/

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/m ... ?title=MBM

What I have found is that there is an MBM driver which (not quite sure how works as haven't read through all information) that gets compiled into the kernels mentioned... however, I think from kernel 2.38 onwards this driver is already included by default.

Will the 2.38 kernel be put into the repos so that a slapt-get -u - slapt-get --upgrade will simply 'upgrade' the existing kernel to the newer one or will one have to wait for the next version of Salix in order to have that functionality??

Would be good if a new kernel was added otherwise will have to try to compile the newer kernel myself then add to LILO which have no experience with

All-in-all ?????

I don't know about your hardware, but I can answer you about the kernel.
There will be no upgrade of the kernel for 13.37. So either you wait for the next Salix/Slackware version and we have no date, or :
- you compile the driver for the current running kernel
- you update the kernel to a more recent version and you compile it yourself (it's easier to do it than it sounds, in fact it's easier to compile the kernel than to compile any software).

Thanks for that

I actually split my partition in 2 now where Salix 'used' to be and ran FreeBSD 9.0 x64 edition and Fedora 16 x64 both which support my hardware perfectly.

It's a real shame as I run Salix on older hardware which works really well and I like the leanness of it too so there's no extra-fat contained in stuff like ironically Fedora.... however, having said that the new Gnome3 looks exactly like my Blackberry or the Andriods I've seen which is kinda funny; not very productive for someone like me but a nice toy to have. In the mean-time I explicitly did a 'lean' or base install and ended up with nothing but the CLI.

For now I'll wait for updates for packages too like ALSA etc.... as I mainly want to use VirtualBox with my system to do things like simulate networks running Solaris/BSD/Linux (mail and Java web servers) etc....

Anyway thanks for all the help and time!
