hi there, following the fiasco with the acer aspire one D270 netbook, that comes with the open source hater intel GMA3600 integrated graphics adapter, i sold off the machine and bought a couple of generations older levno ideapad s 100 that comes with Atom N570 / GMA3100 that is supported by the X intel driver. thanks intel.
this is also a quite nice machine, also its 6 cell battery is noticably bigger then the acer's. the wifi does not work, it is the Realtek 8188CE, but still much better than broadcom. at least here is a chance it will supported one day. the disk seems to fall asleep very early all the time, so i will have to play with atactl to see if i can stop this annoying issue. it makes clacking sounds. havent tried the card reader yet. suspend works, resume almost works, the keyboard stops responding. one problem i am trying to track down is a constant load over 1.00 i know load is "just a number", but i something is strange. a screenshot of top: load averages: 1.06, 1.11, 1.08 47 processes: 46 idle, 1 on processor CPU0 states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle CPU1 states:
