Operazioni post-installazione
Utili repository per Fedora core 7Sound System - Audio
After installation i cannot hear audio.
The default conf do not work.
I have changed my modprobe.conf
(see below) and everything work correctly.
[root@trinity2 ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 r8169
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
options snd-card-0 index=0
Webcam
On my Asus Z99Jseries (like a A8JN)
to make webcam work you have to install this software:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20070508.tar.gz
This is the home page:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
You have to follow this steps:
wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20070508.tar.gz
tar -zxvf gspcav1-20070508.tar.gz
cd gspcav1-20070508
make
make install
modprobe gspca
Now it work perfectly.
You can try it with vlcIf your image should be strange and with bad color change your
/etc/modprobe.conf :
add this line
options gspca force_rgb=1
else, if your image is too dark, try this line:
options gspca force_rgb=0 gamma=4
when you have a change reload the module before retry
modprobe -r gspca
modprobe gspca
You can change on the fly the gspca parameter here
cd /sys/module/gspca/parameters
autoexpo

Card Reader
Every info from:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SD_and_MMC_card_readers
Lan
Driver only included in newer Kernels (RTL8168b/8111b), Module name "r8169" or alternatively the proprietary Realtek-driver "r1000".
I recommend to use the build in kernel driver, because it's making less trouble during an upgrade and it's working as it should.
TouchPad
Synaptics Touchpad, works with the dafualt configuration obtained after installation (including scrollbars)
ACPI modprobe asus-laptop
load the correct module, but i had good experience with slackware and
