This laptop is operating under Kernel version 2.6.27-6-generic #1 SMP
Basic Installation of Ubuntu:
Downloaded Alternative Install-CD for Xubuntu 8.10 and installed. After installation deactivated atheros-drivers under system -> hardware-drivers.
Unresolved issues
Brightness-control seems not to work.
When Shutting down, the system does halt put the power is not turned off. (resolved by an automatically updated ACPI-System)
Brightness-Workaround
Use the following scripts:
brightness.sh, invoke with brightness.sh [up|down]
#!/bin/bash if [ "$1" == "up" ]; then echo YourPassWord | sudo -S ~/bin/video_brightnessup.sh fi if [ "$1" == "down" ]; then echo YourPassWord | sudo -S ~/bin/video_brightnessdown.sh fi
~/bin/videobrightness_up.sh
#!/bin/bash
CURRENT=$(grep "current:" /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness |awk '{print $2}')
case "$CURRENT" in
100)
echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
80)
echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
70)
echo -n 80 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
60)
echo -n 70 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
50)
echo -n 60 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
40)
echo -n 50 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
30)
echo -n 40 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
10)
echo -n 30 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;
;;
*)
echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness ;
;;
esac
And simmilar video_brightnessdown.sh
#!/bin/bash
CURRENT=$(grep "current:" /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness |awk '{print $2}')
case "$CURRENT" in
10)
echo -n 10 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;

Herzlichen Dank, endlich habe ich den Sachverhalt begriffen
Genialer Einfall, das wollte ich auch schon immer mal ausdrucken, wusste nur niemals wie man dies ausdrucken kann
