[edit] Installation
Both the wired and wireless network interfaces on this laptop are too new to have drivers on the Gentoo 2008.0 livecd. One way to install Gentoo is to boot from a different livecd (Ubuntu 2008.10 amd64 and Kubuntu 2008.10 i386 are known to work) then follow the instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml#doc_chap3. A few tools will be missing, such as mirrorselect. You will have to choose your mirrors manually.
If you do use the Gentoo 2008.0 livecd, you must use the acpi=off parameter, or the system will hang while booting.
[edit] Make.conf
- CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=core2" with gcc-4.3 or greater. With earlier versions of gcc, use CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"
- MAKEOPTS="-j3" Use -j3 to take advantage of the dual core cpu.
[edit] Drivers
[edit] Video
This laptop has nvidia card.
[edit] ATI FireGl
Not all versions of ati-drivers compile correctly with every kernel version. Here is a table of tested kernel/driver pairs
| Kernel | Driver | Working? | Comments |
| gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r8 | ati-drivers-8.471.3 | No | |
| gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r8 | ati-drivers-8.542 | Yes |
The drivers also require the following options to be configured in the kernel:
| Linux Kernel Configuration: ATI fglrx driver requirements |
Processor type and features --->
[*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support
[ ] Paravirtualization support (EXPERIMENTAL)
Bus options (PCI etc.) --->
[*] PCI Express support
[*] Enable deprecated pci_find_* API
Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
-*- /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) --->
<*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
< > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
Kernel hacking --->
[*] Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols

[edit] NVidia Quadro
Works out of the box with the nvidia drivers, using nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings it is trivial to setup X (even with a 2nd monitor)
[edit] Sound
Sound requires the following options to be configured in the kernel:
| Linux Kernel Configuration: Sound requirements |
Device Drivers --->
<*> Sound card support --->
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
[*] PCI sound devices --->
<*> Intel HD Audio
[*] Build Analog Device HD-audio codec support
[*] Build ATI HDMI HD-audio codec support
|
[edit] Media Keys
The Elitebook's media keys are built into a touch sensitive strip between the keyboard and the screen. The wireless switch and mute button are hardwired -- no software support is needed for their function. The audio volume controls are mapped through the keyboard like normal media keys. But the info and presentation buttons use WMI and need a special kernel configuration to work:
| Linux Kernel Configuration: Media keys |
Power management options --->
[*] ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->
<*> WMI (EXPERIMENTAL)
Device Drivers --->
[*] Misc devices --->
<*> HP WMI extras
|
The hp_wmi driver will return scancodes outside of the keyboard's normal range, so X will not receive them. To use them in X, you must first use setkeycodes to translate them to keycodes. This should be done system-wide and independently of X. One good place is /etc/conf.d/local.start. Here are the lines you need to insert:
setkeycodes e008 136 #elitebook 8530w presentation key setkeycodes e06e 238 #elitebook 8530w external monitor key setkeycodes e009 137 #elitebook 8530w battery key setkeycodes e012 146 #elitebook 8530w brightness down key setkeycodes e017 151 #elitebook brightness up key setkeycodes e033 179 #elitebook 8530w brightness bar key
Having now exposed the keycodes to X, you must now assign keysyms to them. This can be done with xmodmap, and put in a script that can be called when X starts. Most users should call this from .xinitrc. Here is the contents of that script:
#! /bin/sh # Map media keys on hp elitebook 8530W xmodmap -e "keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume" xmodmap -e "keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume" xmodmap -e "keycode 223 = XF86Sleep" xmodmap -e "keycode 243 = XF86Video" xmodmap -e "keycode 246 = XF86BrightnessAdjust" xmodmap -e "keycode 201 = XF86MonBrightnessUp" xmodmap -e "keycode 200 = XF86MonBrightnessDown" xmodmap -e "keycode 188 = XF86User1KB" #battery button xmodmap -e "keycode 122 = XF86User2KB" #presentation button
Now that keysyms are assigned, you must decide what to do with them. Running programs on keypresses can be done with xbindkeys. However, deciding what to run is the hardest part. Here is one example:
"amixer sset Master Playback Volume 2+" XF86AudioRaiseVolume "amixer sset Master Playback Volume 2-" XF86AudioLowerVolume
You should call xmodmap and xbindkeys from .xinitrc like this:
~/xmap xbindkeys
[edit] WiFi
The built-in Intel wireless device works fine with the iwlagn driver and net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode. However, the wireless on/off switch isn't fully integrated. Pressing the switch will disable power to the wireless card, which saves 2W according to powertop. The catch is that when you reenable the wireless card with the switch, the driver does not reload the firmware. You must reload the module with
When you encounter problems with wireless not loading correctly, have a look at dmesg and watch out for something like iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode not found. As workaround you can get this file, e.g. from another distro, and copy it to /lib/firmware/ .
[edit] Webcam
Webcam requires the following options to be configured in the kernel:
| Linux Kernel Configuration: Webcam support |
Device Drivers --->
Multimedia devices --->
<*> Video For Linux
[*] Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer
[*] Video capture adapters --->
[*] V4L USB devices --->
<*> USB Video Class (UVC)
[*] UVC input events device support
