RE: F10 installation on Hp laptop(dv5-1210tx)

[Gyan PRAKASH]

Hello,

 

My laptop multimedia-keys(HP smart keys) works fine in GNOME desktop but doesn’t work with
KDE.

 

Also, Internet is not getting configured. When I plugin the LAN wire, it says connected
and the ip address displayed is different to what I see in windows. I have a external
modem connected to broadband service provider.

 

Please provide suggestion to configure the above.

 

Thanks,

Gyan

Rpmfusion is easy to set up: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/

The nvidia-driver is propietary but you are allowed to use it as you own the card, so you
sould not care about licensing issues about it. Only philosofical issues for being using a
propietary binary thing into your free kernel.

The audio card can be a problem. You first have to identify the chipset and know if alsa
supports it, you can start in alsa's web site instructions for new alsa users:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

Good luck!

Hey, but am more worried about the Audio card. I tried with F10 KDE live CD but no sound
was audible! Also how do I get rpm-fusion usage license?

 

Is their any alternate method to get sound working on my laptop?

Nvidia graphics will be supported if you use rpm fusion non-free repository, the processor
is supported, the touchpad too, the network card too, but the tv tunner the audo codec and
the HP MeadiaSmart thing should be check before. The best thing is trying first with a
live cd and check that everything works out of the box. With a live cd you should not have
proper video aceleration as it will use the default nv driver for your nvidia card until
you set up rpmfusion and install nvidia propietary kernel, so don't worry about the
video performance.
