Acer Aspire 5650 Series (5652WLMi)





Please read the OpenSuSE 10.1 overview (in german!)

TuxMobil - Linux on Laptops, Notebooks, PDAs and Mobile Phones




This notebook works with LINUX ™. I tried OpenSuSE 10.1 and Knoppix.


Specific configuration and information about the implemented devices:

Tux
= Operates
Skull = Does not work
Warning = Works partially
Stop = I did not try it yet
ToDo = Under development
Hardware Info = Hardware information (use the command lspci)



--->>  Information for all readers: I owned this notebook for 2 days only. Therefore I can't have a whack on something or give further information. I handed back this notebook, because the fan starts every 1 - 2 minutes for approx. 20 seconds. It is a quiet fan and due to the Nvidia graphic chip a fan noise was to be expected. But the permanent on and off makes me angry.   <<---

UNIX with mobile computers
The TuxMobil site (former known as MobiliX) is dedicated to Mobile UniX systems. It leads you to a lot of useful hands-on information about installing and running Linux, BSD, Solaris and other UniXes on laptops, PDAs, cell phones, wearables and other mobile computer devices. You may find the Linux-Mobile-Guide and the Infrared-HOWTO, a survey of supported PCMCIA/CF cards, other mobile hardware surveys, some links to databases of stolen laptops and PDAs, a survey of laptop manufacturers and their Linux status, software for mobile computers and the `linux-laptop` mailing list.
