Samsung NC20

[peter27]

Thanks a lot guys . It's working! compiz works fine. I followed ultix's guide and it worked.I don't know why it did not work the first 4 times I tried.

Maybe we should build an ubuntu image for nc20 .

how could i delete the old xorf.conf and insert the new one?
in the nautilus it dont work because of permission rights, and in console i dont know how to delete and copy files.
i tried with:
sudo cp '/.../.../new xorg.conf' '/etc/X11'

but it didnt work, so i did anything wrong

and compile the 3d driver make an error too:

patricknet@patrick:~/via driver/5.75.32.87a-u1004-55689/VIA_Chrome9_2.6.33$ sudo make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/build M=/home/patricknet/via driver/5.75.32.87a-u1004-55689/VIA_Chrome9_2.6.33 modules
make[1]: Betrete Verzeichnis '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic'
make[1]: *** Keine Regel, um »driver/5.75.32.87a-u1004-55689/VIA_Chrome9_2.6.33« zu erstellen. Schluss.
make[1]: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic'
make: *** [default] Fehler 2

anyone could help?

1) from directory with new xorg.conf: 'sudo cp ./xorg.conf /etc/X11'
2) Possible you don't have installed kernel headers. To install: 'apt-get install linux-headers-generic'

Anyone know if the official driver is added to the Ubuntu 10.10 Beta?

Fixing the brightness problem:
1. Copy the attached file into /etc/hal/fdi/information and rename it to 99-nc20-panel.fdi
(must be done as root or via sudo)
2. Reboot the system
Brightness keys should work again.

First, apologies for being new to linux. I cannot find a 'hal' directory inside the 'etc' directory in my file system. Searching for hal brings up 2 folders, one in usr/lib, one in usr/share. I think I'm logged in as root but I don't know how to use sudo. Thought maybe someone could take 10 seconds to help me out rather than me spend another several hours trying to figure it out for myself... Thanks.

Thank you! I have Ubuntu for netbooks 10.04.1 2.6.32-24-generic. It works fine for me

But the only desktop for netbook lacks of smoothing. What should I do?

Try to use desktop version without any effects (compiz etc...)

Hi,

Some weeks ago i started to get problems with sound on my Nc20, when i start up the computer sound is gone, and alsa tells me that it can't find my soundcard. When i reinstall alsa and alsa-utils it finds my soundcard and it worked fine for some days. But now again when i booted up my nc20 i got no sound.

Anyone got any ideas or got the same problems? Running 10.04.

Edit: Alsaconf fins my soundcard, but when i try to use alsamixer i get: Cannot open mixer

Hallo Tom,
in the past I used your VIA_driver until kernelversion 2.6.33.
Now Iam using kernel 2.6.36-rc5-23 and the latest
xorg version on an Opensuse system.
Can you modify your driver to this kernelversion and xorg version?
Kind regards
Uli

Updated kernel driver source attached. It works with kernels 2.6.34 - .36-rc. The xorg part from one of my earlier posts should still work, but you will have to recompile it for use with newer versions.
