1. Complete the Windows System Software installation. If the Windows Scripting download hangs, you can get the executable from here. Save it to the sys directory and install it later by issuing $ wine scr56en.exe in that directory.

In order to set and maintain the state of the backlight when the lid is closed, you can create a daemon and call it with laptop-mode-tools. This is specially handy if some of your applications (usually games) like to turn the panel backlight back on when resetting the video resolution or when going into fullscreen.

 LIGHT_ON=$(/usr/sbin/radeontool light | grep “looks off”)

You can determine the state of the lid switch by doing:

You can turn on/off the backlight of the LCD panel with radeontool. This tool is available from the dries repository. You can also download the source here. After installing both the laptop-mode-tools (also in the dries repository) and radeontool packages, I created the following script:

Add the following lines at the end of the /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh script:

Turn panel backlight off when lid closes

This is specially handy if some of your applications (usually games) like to turn the panel backlight back on when resetting the video resolution or when going into fullscreen.

Step 1

Add the following lines to the /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh script:

LID_CLOSED=$(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state | grep open) if [ “$LID_CLOSED” = “” ]; then

 /usr/sbin/blightoffd &

else

 /usr/sbin/radeontool light on

fi @]

Step 2

Save the following script as /usr/sbin/blightoffd

Update (April 20, 2008): The most recent driver for the Radeon M300 card from ATI includes AIGLX support and offers improved overall performance. Use that driver instead of the one available from the Livna repository. However, if the latest ATI driver doesn’t really cut it for you, then download version 8.476, which worked pretty well for me (right click, save as…).

Wine

Does your brand new Windows system refuses to install that awesome application you loved in Windows 98? Well, I bet you can run it with Wine! Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Linux. This means that Wine allows you to run Windows applications on Linux!

Note: You should complete the winetools setup before installing any Windows application. This will ensure a stable Windows environment. I installed both Wine and Winetools from rpm.

• Wine Version: 0.9.2
• Winetools Version: wt0.9jo

Winetools Setup

1. Type winetools on a console window.
2. Complete the Base Setup.
3. If the Microsoft Foundation Classes 4.x download hangs, save the files mfc40.dll and mfc42.dll to the sys directory in your $HOME/winetools folder. You can get the dll files here
4. Complete the Windows System Software installation.
5. Complete the Microsoft TrueType core fonts installation.
6. If the font installation hangs, you can download the files directly from here.

Using the KDE Print System with Wine

Step 1:

Edit the win.ini file in your C:\Windows directory, located in $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows, to make kprinter the default printer. Add or change the following entries:

[windows] device=KDE Print System,WINEPS.DRV,KDE:

[devices] KDE Print System=WINEPS.DRV,KDE: @]

Step 2:

Add to $HOME/.wine/system.reg: [@

Update (June 30, 2008): The mirror above finally died, however, the packages do not seem to be necessary anymore with the 2.6.22.14–72.fc6 kernel. Installing the package ipw2200-firmware from the fedora repositories seems to have been sufficient.
