A quick guide for setting up the Zepto 3001 laptop for use with Linux By Simen Graaten - All rights reversed (e)(p) 2002 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Last update: Sat Oct 26 08:32:33 CEST 2002 Setting up X: Get the updated driver from Tim's site (this is the same driver that is included in XFree86 4.x) http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html You shuld use 16bpp mode because 24bpp is a bit buggy. Also be sure to set maximum allocation of videomem in the bios. .--- /etc/X11/XF86Config --- | | Section "InputDevice" | Identifier "lapmouse" | Driver "mouse" | | Option "Protocol" "PS/2" | Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" | Option "Emulate3Buttons" | Option "Eumlate3Timeout" "100" | EndSection | | Section "Monitor" | Identifier "laplcd" | VendorName "Zepto" | ModelName "Standard 1400x1050 Laptop LCD" | HorizSync 31.5-90.0 | VertRefresh 59-75 | EndSection | | Section "Device" | Identifier "lapgcard" | VendorName "S3" | BoardName "Savage4" | Driver "savage" | # Set VideoRam to what you selected in the BIOS | VideoRam 32768 | EndSection | | Section "Screen" | Identifier "lapscreen" | Device "lapgcard" | Monitor "laplcd" | DefaultDepth 16 | SubSection "Display" | Depth 16 | Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" | EndSubSection | EndSection | Framebuffer: VESA Framebuffersupport Make sure /etc/lilo.conf has the following line for 1400x1050x16 VESA: .- /etc/lilo.conf -- | | vga=828 | Soundcard: modprobe via82cxxx_audio Network: modprobe tulip Modem: Download the Lucien Winmodem driver at: http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/ modprobe ltmodem If you are missing the devices /dev/LT0 and /dev/modem, create them: mknod /dev/ttyLT0 c 62 64 ln -s /dev/ttyLT0 /dev/modem Suspend to disk: You will need to prepare a hibernation partition. You can do this with DOS software provided or a utility for linux: http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/ The suspend button on the Zepto doesn't seem to work right, but the nice people of Zepto is looking into it, and I am hoping for a solution. Softwaresuspend i now possible if you apply the swsusp patch. The patch can be found for a bunch of different kernel version. http://sourceforge.net/projects/swsusp After applying the patch you can suspend to your swapdrive. You need to add 'append="resume=/dev/hdXX"' to your lilo.conf (where /dev/hdXX is your swappartition) You will then be able to put your laptop to sleep with the following command: # echo "1 0 0" > /proc/sys/kernel/swsusp The latest acpi patch is able to hardware suspend the laptop. http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi This is done with the following command: # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep The advantage of softwaresuspend is the ability to switch batteries while suspended.
