• ub-dCore-trusty with LXDE — sm8ps 201505 ===== Performance ===== The device runs very smooth and is incredibly snappy to react to user interaction. Picture yourself using the full LibreOffice suite in version 4.2 on such a device and you know what I mean! Hats off to the dCore development team! ===== Ethernet ===== The built-in Intel Corporation 82551QM Ethernet Controller needs the e100 driver plus associated firmware. The module is built into the kernel but the firmware is not available in linux-firmware{-nonfree}. Instead, it is included in the Ubuntu package linux-image. Download the package for a suitable kernel version (ub-dCore-trusty is using 3.16.6 but the Ubuntu Trusty package for version 3.13 worked) and extract the folder '/var/lib/firmware/<KERNEL>/e100/'. Place it directly under '/var/lib/firmware/' (omitting '<KERNEL>') in dCore and add “var/lib/firmware/e100” to '.filetool.lst'. Issue backup and re-boot. ===== Wireless ===== The device originally came with a Mini-PCI wireless card that only supported 802.11b with WEP but not WPA. That card needs to be replaced by a more recent one. ===== Pen input ===== The pen uses Finepoint technology which needs the xserver-xorg-input-fpit X-driver. That driver is currently not available from any Debian-based repository. A request for custom packaging has been made in the forum.
