My netbook is Samsung NC110-P05 on Atom n2600 (Cedar Trail-M) with Intel GMA 3600
I compiled lots of kernels and here are the results:
1) stock 3.0.0-17: only 800x600
2) latest stable kernel 3.3.2: works on 1024x600
3) latest from git 3.4.0-rc3: works on 1024x600
I compiled 3.4.0-rc3 (git) this way:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
I compiled 3.3.2 this way:
Code:
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.3.2.tar.bz2
tar jxf linux-3.3.2.tar.bz2
cd linux-3.3.2
make menuconfig
#press / to find "3600", enable GMA 3600 support
make-kpkg clean
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd /lib/modules && ls # here I take module-name-for-new-kernel for next update-initramfs
sudo update-initramfs -ck module-name-for-new-kernel
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
BUT!
VGA does not work on any of the kernels above
On kernels 3.3.2 and 3.4.0-rc3 my WiFi card does NOT work.
Code:
sudo ifconfig
eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr *********
lo Link encap: Local Loopback
My WiFi card is:
Code:
lspci | grep Network
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 130 (rev 34)
I tried to download the latest iwlwifi ucode from Intel (http://intellinuxwireless.org/), but still have no luck
Code:
cd $HOME
#check latest iwlwifi version here: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads
wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz
tar -zxf iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz
sudo mv iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-18.168.6.1/iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode /lib/firmware/
On the kernel installing stage (dpkg -i) I also had these warnings:
Code:
"W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168f-2.fw for module r8169"
"W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168f-1.fw for module r8169"
Code:
ls /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/
rtl8168d-1.fw, rtl8168d-2.fw, rtl8168e-1.fw, rtl8168e-2.fw, rtl8168e-3.fw
Indeed I don't have the mentioned above rtl8168f-2, rtl8168f-1.
I can say that my WiFi card is not blocked by other apps. I checked it using rfkill.
