===== Notes =====
Some recent Linux distributions not longer requires the following but most still do. As default the native screen resolution of this notebook is 1280x768, however due to the way the Intel Extreme Graphics functions this resolution would not be usable right away. To get it working you will need to install the 915resolution program and type in:
915resolution 3c 1280 768
This will then allow you to use the native 1280x768 resolution. However this setting will be forgotten after each boot so you will need a way to automatically run this command at every boot. Fortunately most Linux distributions come with the 915resolution program and include a simple way of achieving this. You can view our [[Configuring the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900-950 for Linux|Configuring the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 & 950]] guide for more information.

This wireless controller in this laptop does not have any native drivers for Linux so you will need to use the [[http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net|ndiswrapper]] module. For installation instructions, you can view our [[Configuring the ndiswrapper module for wireless controllers without native Linux drivers|Configuring the ndiswrapper module]] guide. The windows driver to use with ndiswrapper can be found [[http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-31559-1&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&os=228&product=435618|here]]. There are some experimental modules available for this card which are available [[http://bcm43xx.berlios.de|here]]. At this time these drivers are still under development and may not be totally stable.

Some versions of this laptop include the Intel 2200BG wireless controller. For this you can use the [[http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net|ipw2200]] module.
===== Summary =====
The main issue with this laptop was the configuration of the wireless controller. Other than that there were no problems in getting this laptop working when used with an up to date Linux distribution. It is recommended to use a Linux distribution with kernel version 2.6.17 or greater, such as Fedora Core 6 or Ubuntu 6.10.
