[Mageia-dev] tests beta2 live

Mon May 2 12:53:33 CEST 2011

Reports on tests with beta2 live on
+three different notebooks/netbooks,
+for compatibility issue:
+
+1) eepc 900 (2008)
+   celeron, video intel GMA900, wireless atheros
+  
+   Everything works perfectly, as in the Mandriva
+   distro currently installed, including special
+   acpi keys
+
+2) eeepc 1015 PEM (2011)
+   atom N550, 64 bit dual core, video intel pineview,
+   wireless Broadcom 4727, integrated bluetooth
+
+   I tried the 32 bits live (the computer has the
+   32 bit mandriva intalled in it). Broadcom works
+   (in mandriva, I had to recompile the kernel).
+   Everything else (camera, audio...) works.
+   The systems works as a quad processor 32 bit.
+   Some of the acpi special keys (wireless off/on,
+   bluetooth off/on, cpu speed control) do not
+   work, like in mandriva. There, I installed
+   JUPITER (taken from the net, not from the mandriva
+   repositories) and everything then worked. I suggest
+   to put JUPITER in the mageia repositories.
+
+3) MSI notebook, Intel i7, NVidia GE force GTX 425
+   Here the live does not boot, it stops at the moment
+   of showing the language choice. I had problems
+   also in the installation of mandriva. However,
+   there I could get system starting in VESA.
+   With other live distro (Ubuntu-based) I could get
+   the system working imposing -xforcevesa at startup.
+   With mageia this trick does not work.
