Dynamic Bits - KB 00002: Linux on the HP Pavilion zv5405us

The following information is based on a combination of a boot from a Slax 4.2.0 CD and my experiences actually using Ubuntu 5.04-AMD64 (Hoary Hedgehog) and Ubuntu 5.10-x86 (Breezy Badger). At the current time, I have abandoned the idea of running a 64-bit operating system due to the extra work involved in getting some things to work. I would, however, like to try again in the future.

Comments

This seems to be a decent laptop. It is one of the few that meets my primary requirements: Athlon processor, and nVidia video card. The included Athlon 64 and GeForce4 440 Go surpass my requirements. (With the binary nVidia drivers, I get ~~72fps~~ up to 100fps playing Day of Defeat in Cedega!) This is the first laptop I have truly been happy with.

Booting from the Slax CD seemed to go well. The only thing I could tell wasn't working was the sound. There are several other slightly different models of this laptop with almost exactly the same hardware and others have gotten the sound to work on those, so I am optimistic it will work with an actual Linux install. Sound works in Ubuntu using both eSound (esd) and ALSA.

What hardware Works?

Output

Hardware	Works?	Comments
Athlon64 3200+ CPU, 2.0GHz	Yes	CPU Frequency Scaling works.
512MB DDR SDRAM (2 x 256MB) at 333MHz	Yes	1 module DOA. HP replaced and shipped back in 48 hours. I have since replaced 1 module with a 1GB Transcend module, bringing my total RAM to 1280MB.
NVIDIA GeForce 4 440 Go	Yes	For hardware acceleration, get the binary nVidia drivers.
80GB (4200RPM) Hard Drive	Yes
24X DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive	Yes	Reads CDs/DVDs and burns CDs with no problems noted.
15.4" WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800) Display	Yes	Simply amazing
High speed 56k modem	?	Untested
Integrated 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN	Yes
54g 802.11b/g WLAN with 125HSM/SpeedBooster support	No?	I've almost given up hope of getting this to work.
16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio (nForce3)	Yes	Puts out more sound than my last laptop
101-key compatible Keyboard	Yes	Brightness keys (Fn+F7, Fn+F8) seem to be hardware controlled (they work)
Touch Pad with On/Off button and dedicated vertical Scroll Up/Down pad	Yes	On/Off button works! The scrolling part of it acts just like the rest of the pad. This is how I want it, so I will not be trying to get it to act like a scroll wheel. In Ubuntu 5.10-x86, the touchpad seems to be much more sensitive
1 Type I/II 32-bit card bus PCMCIA slot	?	Untested
USB	Yes	No problems
Parallel SPP/ECP port	?	Untested
Headphone jack	Yes	In Ubuntu 5.04-AMD64, when I plug something in, the built-in speakers do not go silent. I think it may just be something I need to configure to make this happen. It almost seems like a nice feature to me. In Ubuntu 5.10-x86, the speakers do go silent when something is plugged in.
Microphone jack	?	Untested
VGA Out	Maybe	It seems to put out a signal, but I think I need to configure something in xorg.conf to make it work properly.
S-video Out	?	Untested
IEEE 1394 (FireWire)	?	Untested
Media card reader	No*	*Currently no drivers exist
Extra buttons	Yes*	(Most of them) In Ubuntu 5.04-AMD64, the mouse on/off button works and the wireless on/off button freezes/unfreezes the entire computer (kind of like a pause button). The camera icon/music icon/www icon buttons don't do anything (I'm not concerned). The volume up/volume down/mute buttons do not do anything (I want to get these working). In Ubuntu 5.10-x86, the mouse on/off, volume up/down, and mute buttons work properly. The music icon and www icon do work if they are assigned to something. The wireless on/off button does nothing. The camera icon button does absolutely nothing. Even running showkey* shows no input from pressing it. I have been unable to get it to do anything in Windows 2000 as well. I suspect some data needs to be sent to the keyboard to activate it first. Figuring out how to make this work is one of my low priority projects.

dmesg

~~I'm not sure if the "1" on the first line is supposed to be there. It is in the file that I have saved, but that could have been an erroneous keystroke.~~ I figured it out. dmesg only displays a certain amount of information. Once this amount is exceeded, the earlier information gets truncated.

Additional Information

Here is the response I received from HP regarding drivers for this laptop running under Windows 2000. I would imagine that if someone has some part of a zv5316us working under linux, then it should work on the zv5405us as well. I hope that this may be of some asistance to someone out there.
