Graphics Card
This card works out of box with the opensource radeon driver with regular performance, for better performance you need to install the ATI Proprietary driver (fglrx).
Serch for ati-drivers on pisi, or do # pisi it ati-drivers on a console, reboot and have fun.
FYI.: The ati proprietary card has known issues of delays on KDE4, so if you experience some of these delays, remove ati-drivers and use the opensource radeon instead.
Audio Card
Works out of box with the module snd-hda-intel.
Keyboard
Works, unless you use a brazillian abnt2 keyboard that you might have problems with the (/?) key but this is an X.org problem, use TASMA to force the use of a abnt2-br keyboard on kde and you'll see the (/?) working.
Not all the FN-Keys are working, you might need to set some on the Xmodmap.
ACPI
Battery is detected and works normally.
The brightness control has one issue only: the first time you press FN+UP/DOWN you'll see the decrease of the total brightness, but that's it, besides that it works flawlessly.
You are able to suspend and hibernate normaly, but after rebooting you'll experience a hang on the BIOS.
These problems were fixed with the use of kernel 2.6.27, not yet available on pardus. The case is that this laptop has problems with kernels that ends with even numbers, I mean, on kernel 2.6.24 we started having weird controls of the brightness, but on .25 it were fixed, on .26 it can't boot because of incompability, but on .27 everything works (until now the 2.6.27 is the best kernel for this laptop), on .28 the suspension stopped working again (it can suspend but it can't resume). So, if you have a dell vostro 1000 and wants linux... stick with the kernel 2.6.27/.25 if possible.
CD/DVD Read,Write
Works.
Network
Works:
Wireless Network: Dell Vostro 1490 (Broadcom 4312)
- Interface: eth0
- Module: wl
Works out of box with the proprietary driver (wl) on pardus 2008.2.
Wired Network: Broadcom 4401
- Interface: eth1
- Module: b44
Didn't got loaded because pardus didn't loaded the b44 module, to fix it edit /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and add at the end the keyword b44
Remember that the b44 has to be loaded before the wl module or you'll have no wireless networking.
Modem
Not tested yet.
PCI Express
Not tested yet.
Built-in Card-Reader
Works.
