Here is my new toy  :

Intel centrino core 2 duo
HDD : 80 Go
Ram : 1Go
Video : intel GMA950 (3D out of the box) on a WXGA 12'1" screeen (1280x800)
Wifi : ipw3945 (works fine with this package)

Just two things :
first, ethernet card (Intel Corporation Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection) wasn't operationnal out of the box. I have to modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and blacklist eepro100. Then, it works fine 
second, my memory card reader (Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) ) isn't fonctionnal. But I'm working on it

Hi Croco.
After several problems with Ubuntu, here I am. Back to Zen.
I just installed ZW 4.4.1, but the sound control in the panel does not work. It always goes back to 100%
do you know what is it? I have managed in the past trying to control a specific channel, but that's sloppy.

Also, as a side note, I got the 1200x800 resolution to work using 915resolution.

thanks.

So, use the PCM item.
I made the right sound volume button works :
1- open a CLI an d type 'xev'. Then use the sound button to modify the volume and note the keycodes.
2- create a ~/.Xmodmap, and add lines like :

You will find the names from  /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB
3- Go to Settings | Keyboard Settings, and create keyboard shortcuts like describe here.
For raising volume, I use amixer command : add a shortcut, type the command (amixer set Front 2+), validate, type the keystroke (the up volume button), thats all.
The 'Front' param indicate to amixer to modify the HP volume, to mute them, use 'amixer set Front 0%', to have a lower volume, 'amixer set Front 2-'.
Now, you will be able to manage HP sound with the volume button  .

For the headphones, do the same but hit the ctrl keystroke + the volume button, and affect to the shortcut a command like 'amixer set Headphone 2+|2-|0%'. Like this way, you can mute the headphones by pressing the volume button, and adjust the headphones volume with ctrl+volume up

here is my ~/.config/xfce4/shortcuts :

I also have Toshiba u200 notebook. And I had same problems. Just one question: what about fingerprint reader?
Greetings....

Welcome,

I working on fingerprint, but I have to do :
- recompile kernel with uinput support (CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT), if someone knows where is this feature, tell me
- install the Linux PAM devs files,
- install thinkfinger...

What about your problems, do you solve them ?

Crocus

Not yet...I have Zenwalk in two other computers, and today I'm planning to set Zenwalk on the third one ;-). It will be also Toshiba but 1800-203. It's my 5 year old son's. I don't have enough time to fight with fingerprint reader... Did You solve the problem with the card reader?
Greetings

yes 
The latest kernel (2.6.22.5) in the snapshot repository is to be used for that.

So, today, except the fingerprint reader, everything works on this laptop 

Crocus

OMFG how that was hard. First installer hasn't seen DVD Rom, so I used GParted to put the whole instalation image to the hard disk. Zenwalk got up but the dvd drive was uninstalled. Double kernel modification did work. I had a little help from Slack expert 
I'm glad to hear that!!!
Now 4 computers under Zenwalk :-)
Yuppi
Greetings

one more question... Do You have the right side volume controler working? It is next to the card reader...
Is everything exept fingerprint reader working from the box???
greetings

For the volume button, have a look at the beginning of this thread 
You will find the step-by-step how-to.
You can copy-paste codes, they are GPL

Crocus

Thx for tip
I feel a little bit blind.........
greetings

Crocus

OK, so one more problem: does Your touchpad is able to do scrolling?
If yes, please give me a little howto :-)
Same about multimedia buttons :-)
Greetings
JK

I do not use scrolling with the touchpad (it is too little), but have a look in the wiki, there is something about it.

For the multimedia button, have a look at the beginning of the thread

Hi,

You have to:
1. Install the synaptic driver: http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackware-11.0/system/synaptics/0.14.6/
2. Add this to xorg.conf (Yes, you will end up with 2 Section "InputDevice".)

# **********************************************************************
# Touchpad Section Added by fid after the synaptic driver is installed
# **********************************************************************
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "Touchpad"
    Driver        "synaptics"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option        "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option        "LeftEdge" "120"
    Option        "RightEdge" "830"
    Option        "TopEdge" "120"
    Option        "BottomEdge" "650"
    Option        "FingerLow" "14"
    Option        "FingerHigh" "15"
    Option        "MaxTapTime" "150"
    Option        "MaxTapMove" "110"
    Option        "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75"
    Option        "VertScrollDelta" "20"
    Option        "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
    Option        "MinSpeed" "0.3"
    Option        "MaxSpeed" "0.75"
    Option        "AccelFactor" "0.015"
    Option        "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "200"
    Option        "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200"
    Option        "UpDownScrolling" "1"
    Option        "CircularScrolling" "1"
    Option        "CircScrollDelta" "0.1"
    Option        "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
    Option        "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

3. Modify the end of your xorg.conf to say this: (You are basically replacing the mouse with the TouchPad)

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier    "Simple Layout"
    Screen      "Videoconfig"
    InputDevice    "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection


This should be it. Also, this is the quick and dirty end product of looking in the wiki, so go there for more info.
You may want to install a program to control the actions of your touchpad, but the configuration above gives you scrolling. Also, triple click will allow you to drag objects.

enjoy.
