Hey Guys,
i have been using Linux in and out for the past few years but mainly been on Ubuntu and not relay been doing anything technical in it for the past 3 years... I am currently trying to get Tiny core on my HP TX1000 to use at uni for note taking and such when i head back after my years placement...
i currently have micro-core installed with xfce installed and some basic applications that i would need and everything is working fine except a few things...
i am unable to get the touch screen working properly
currently it acts as one big left mouse buttonwhen i try to install the eGalaxTouch screen drivers i get an error saying that there is No X configuration file found....
ls /etc/X11
README.xorg.conf
xorg.conf.vesa
i am also having problems with WiFi... when i use the wiki instructions the ui crashes when i try to load up wicd and it still can't see my wireless card.... ifconfig -a shows it up like bellow
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:73:19:12:E3
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
the last annoying thing that iv got is that the mouse left button seems to register a click as i push down and then when i release....
and i have no audio....
The specs of this laptop are....
AMD Turion 64 X2
1GB of ram
F-WAV Scientfic Co., LTD eGalax TouchScreen
Broadcom BVM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)
[under the lsusb it notes a Hewlett-Packard Wireless (Bluetooth + WLAN) Interface.... (im assuming that this is the hardware switch for WiFi and Bluetooth)Microdia Sonic USB 2.0 Camera
What iv done so far...
- installed micro-core 3.6
[i actually cheated hear and used the installer on tiny-core and gave it the micro-core iso with the micro-core option - installed XFCE
i altered the ui a lil to make it nicer - installed basic apps that i would need
What i need to get fixed for uni
- the WiFi with WPA TKIP+AES and WPA Enterprise
- the touch screen
- if possible this stupid mouse issue....
What would be nice... [not even looked into]
- the webcam
- audio
any help you guys may be able to provide would be awesome!!
