Hi, I got some mails about my acer travelmate 612tx in the last few days. It's a quite new laptop
technical information: mhz: 900/700(with speedstep) ram: 128 (i upgraded to 256) graphicchip: i815m (i had to patch the driver but now everything seems to work alright) sound: i810 (it works with the alsa driver, the kernel driver is quite crappy for now 2.4.16 the kernel driver also slows down the movie player(mplayer)!) USB: works fine! (i tested it with my logitech quickcam + aiptek pc tablet (the docs about how to install that pctablet aren't really good you mustn't load the usbmouse module otherwise it acts but doesn't work alright) battery: between 2-3 hours depends on what you are doing, movies < 1h i think IrDA: supported but i haven't tested it with linux (4 mbit) nic: eepro100 smartcardreader: not supported X works fine without any problem i use patched driver it corrects that overlay problem (shell.dnload.com:55555/overlay.jpg) (driver shell.dnload.com:55555/i810_drv.o .. of course no warranty i lost the sources after a crash just look at the mailing list i mailt the changings in the i810_driver.c) the i815m graphicchip supports only 24bit The laptop is 3 cm thin (2cm main computer 1cm display) I like the natural design of the keyboard Markus _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
