latitude d620

[shmuel siegel]

Are the lattitude d620 screen resolution problems and sound problems being officially
addressed? I have seen unofficial fixes using 915resolution for how to get fedora to
recognize the wide screen on the laptop but I haven't seen any solutions to the sound
system problem. Sound works through the headphones but not through the speakers.
See this page for a description of the problems.

FC6 hopefully will fix it with a experimental i180-driver that's already
in rawhide and will be in FC6T2.

This should be reported upstream (e.g. alsa developers,
www.alsa-project.org). This is not an area where Fedora developers fix
bugs ormally -- it should be fixed once and for all at the right place.
Then every distribution and all those that use a vanilla kernel get it
fixed.

I've ported xorg-x11-drv-i810 version 1.6.0-3 from Rawhide to FC5 (it required 
recompiling of several other packages.
I see a progress -> card is detected and acceleration works quite well. 
However 915resolution is still required (or have I messed it totally up?; 
it's damn hot here these days).

Yes, You're right, they _should_ fix it ;)
I tried to get some help (or to help with investigating what's wrong) on 
alsa-user mailing list, but with no interest from the devs.

Try harder. Report a bug. Nearly each of the last four or five new
alsa-versions/kernel contained added some machine/codec specific
workarounds iirc.

Fedora Devs probably won't fix it. Their mantra is "upstream" for things
like this.
