Hi Rod,
I've just installed Skype and have troubles with the mic. I've just looked into
the volume control for all the settings, but I think I overseen someone.
What exactly have you done to made it work with Skype (which are the sound-in
setting in Skype) ?
I'm running also the 64bit Jaunty.
Thanks !

Hi All,
Greetings from Ireland.
Firstly, big thanks for those responsible for setting up this list.
I've recently bought a Timeline 3810T Core 2 solo SU3500 1.4Ghz with 3GB RAM.
I'm running 64bit Jaunty (dual boot with Vista).
Here's my findings so far:
--- Tested and working out of the box: ---
Graphics - no problems except for occasional screen flicker when screen
brightness is low and some flickering in Compiz.
Camera - no problems
Soundcard - internal mic and speakers working. Did require volume control setup
and config for skype
External bluetooth (my model doesn't have internal Bluetooth) - no problems
- Boris, I was seeing what you seemed to be seeing - and assumed it wasn't
working. However, it doesn't work in Vista either - presing Fn+F3 shows up the
BT icon with an X. Acer support told me some models don't have BT (despite
being advertised as such). Does BT work for you in Vista, Boris?
--- Working after applying tweaks / fixes ---
HD - Install did work perfectly when I left BIOS SATA mode as AHCI. However,
like Domenico, the drive stared acting up shortly afterwards and I reinstalled
Jaunty with IDE turned on instead. Note: I haven't included any kernel options.
I upgraded to 2.9.30 this morning, but haven't tested AHCI mode yet. Has anyone
had any luck with this?
The only other differences I noticed was more granualarity with the brightness
settings.
Hibernate - Only seemed to work when I set up a 4GB SWAP space. (I remeber
reading somewhere that linux needs at least as much swap as the machine has RAM
to preform hibernate correctly - does anyone know if this is true?).
Note, it doesn't always hibernate correctly (I've never had a linux system that
did 100%). It gets almost all the way when shutting down and hangs. Pressing
Ctrl-Alt-Del show a message "stopping all md devices" then restarts the machine
(can't remember if it wakes from hibernation at this stage - will test).
--- Not working ---
Battery - ubuntu states about 4hrs life. Tho, I've have gotten nearly 5hrs from
a full charge this morning running medium brightness and not doing anything too
intensive.
Suspend - having the same problems everyone else is describing. Would like to
have this working.
Ethernet - atheros drivers did not 'make' for me. Errors here
http://pastebin.com/f3535dc6d
Card reader - Memory Stick.
-- Not tested ---
External monitor (VGA or HDMI)
Card reader - SD
Hope we can get most things working. It's a nice little laptop and I couldn't
face using windows on it.
Let me know if anyone wants further info of any config / log files.
Regards,
Rod.
