I’ve had problems with this one. Although it had a built-in module in the kernel tree, it didn’t work. I’ve had to search a bit, and even when done, new kernel required new solution. I’ve managed to locate the exact place. First, if you have a Philips webcam, OV5xx, which gives these kernel prints: drivers/usb/media/ov511.c:…
I know hibernation is cool, and I know it’s possible even under Linux, but up to now, I’ve never had it as stable and reliable as one could have expected. However, using SWSUSP2.2RC on 2.6.14.2, I am impressed. I’ve been using my laptop for the last week or so, ever since I’ve discovered the problem…

I’m using Xinerama, and it’s been working rather OK, for the last month or so, however, now, especially when using Firefox version 1.5, it tends to halt, with “NVRM: Xvid: 12 ” error, which means…
Weird behavior of my Orinoco_pci wireless network interface. On my home 802.11b network, I get performance of about 600KB/s, instead of 1.1MB/s, which should be the approximate speed to expect to. Not only that, but browsing to external websites and the likes (I compare using wget), I get speeds of <7KB/s, and sometimes decreasing to…
My tiny laptop has worked rather well so far, but I’ve decided, due to some unexplained problems, to upgrade it to a newer version of kernel, aka 2.6.14.2.
