Works excellent with Ubuntu 12.04 precise pangolin. Installation requires an external monitor. Backlight issue and Fn shortcuts are can be fixed easily.

This is the solution that worked for me :

All right guys - give a little, get a little:

My get: I have a emachines e725 running Debian Lenny. My problem is I can get sound if I plug in headphone into the jack, but the laptop speakers won't work, I get nothing. I'm new to linux but I'm ready to post any output request for some help.

My give:

Video: if you are stuck with a video resolution of 1024×768 with the intel GMS 450M, just go into /etc/x11/xorg.conf and edit the file so the device section looks like this:

Identifier “Configured Video Device”
Driver “intel”

and that will at least give you a 1366×768 resolution @ 60.1 fps, which is better than nothing.

wireless: I wasn't able to get my wireless card to work (Broadcom Corp. BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) so I went to http://wiki.debian.org/wl and followed the instructions for Lenny and it go the problem fixed.

Now you give a little…

Brightness on E725:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Add acpi_osi=Linux on the end of the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash” GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux”
sudo update-grub
It works (on my laptop).

hi i installed rhel4 on my emachine e725 but ethernet not working where i can find ethernet driver for emachines
thanks
roopesh

Ethernet requires the “atl1c” driver, not “atl1e” as it appears. Works perfectly for me. The only problem is the inability of the kernel 2.6.31 to set the lcd brightness. I think this is being worked on. To read the current brightness:

cat /proc/acpi/video/OVGA/DD02/brightness

The kernel accepts this:

echo 50 > /proc/acpi/video/OVGA/DD02/brightness

And changes the value but the actual brightness does not change.

I have had a couple problems. Centos 5.4

1:The Ethernet did not automatically install.

During the install the back light of the monitor turned off..

I had to actually edit the xorg.conf file and add

   Option	 "dpms"

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html

when I have my laptop connected to a projector on boot, it sends the signal to the projector, and I lose the signal on my laptop…

( I boot in run level 3 ) the initialization of run level three is automatically detected which is nice, but I am still looking into cloning.

2: I have not played a sound file, but alsamixer works.
3: I have not tested the web cam.
4: USB good
5: optical drive works ( i installed it from there :D )

I'm still looking into fixing everything to make it work. I do have un-installed updates to do, so I will get those done and post again.
