这是我在网上找到关于在我这款笔记本上装Linux 的一篇文章,但看得半懂不懂的
不知对我装声卡有没有帮助!
I was pretty excited when I got my new Sony in the mail on 7/8/03.
The first thing you want to do is make sure you have some restore disks
for the original Sony image, unless you are totally scraping Windows
You have to boot to Windows and use the Sony recovery util to burn either
eight cd's worth, or one DVD if you got the burner combo like I did.
This will take a couple of hours to do. The it's off to the excitement
of installing Linux. Keep in mind you could always order a set later from
Sony if you don't wanna waste time
The first thing I did was re-imaged my machine to get rid of the 5 gig restore
drive that sony installs by default. I setup the C drive with 15 gigs and D with
the rest. If you want to dual boot just go delete D drive later and either re-add it,
or just use all the space. The on reboot before restoring apps, I repartitioned my
my drive through windows to free up some space and make D drive a Fat32 for sharing
files. Ahh, now on to installing Linux. I choose RedHat 9 because it's the only
install cd's around and because I'm lazy and don't wanna have to tweak everything
on the system. Just the important stuff...
Note you will have issues with graphical installs, do not try them.
What I found is that the graphical installers do not have the right drivers to
work properly. So what to do? Well in RedHat boot with "linux text" for the
install cd's. Once I complete the install, I went through the X configuration
through the text based one. DO NOT select graphical login. It will not work
until you install the NVidia drivers. Ok, so your at a text console (yay, love it)
and some of you are freaking out without graphics, so pull the Nvidia Geforce drivers
off their website. After installing them, make sure you change the
Driver = nv
to
Driver = nvidia
and remove "dri" and "GL???" modules. You want to make sure you have the "glx" module
in there as well. Now, X should start if you got things right.
Other notes so far:
AC97 audio doesn't detect right. It crashes the system when you play audio.
IEEE1394 doesn't seem to load yet.
Weirdness in my particular (cheap Belkin) wireless card, not a laptop issue.
Haven't tried the memory stick slot yet, will look at it tonight.
That is all I have so far. I would have more and have made this look better, but
I'm in a rush, on lunch hour, and have only messed with linux on this model for a
couple of hours including the install time. I should have more in the next day or
two (7/10/03 or 7/11/03). If anyone has any ideas on the AC97 audio problems, let
me know. John D. Frakes |
