按照ubuntu.org.cn论坛上搞定显卡，按照下文搞定wifi。已经能够正常使用，至于指纹之类，没有就没有吧。

原文先照搬存放与此，有空再翻译加注解。

首先，请确保下载的是alternate ubuntu。没试过7.10 gusty liveCD在6515b上的结果，7.04是不行的——因为显卡不兼容。
1.在文本界面下安装完之后，重启后不能进入x,需要安装Ati驱动，如下命令：

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

sudo depmod -a

sudo aticonfig --initial

6515b LCD显示屏的分辨率是1280*800，请不要选错了。

这时就可以敲入xinit试试结果了。重启之后应该能进入gnome，kde之类你已经安装的桌面环境。

2. Broadcom的无线网卡不能使用7.10自带的受限驱动，需要删除后使用ndiswrapper。步骤如下：

删除原有的驱动

sudo rmmod bcm43xx

并加入该行blacklist bcm43xx到黑名单/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist文件；

到此处下载驱动：http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?&lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3368537&submit.y=8&submit.x=10&lang=en&cc=us

如果安装了wine，执行下载下来的安装文件，可以在c:/SWSetup中找到。否则，就要切换到WinXP解压缩开。

然后安装ndiswrapper

sudo atp-get install diswrapper-utils-1.9

sudo ndiswrapper -i /the location of/SWSetup/the location of version5 driver/bcmwl5.inf

检查ndiswrapper驱动:

sudo ndiswrapper -l

应该可以看到类似信息:

bcmwl5 : driver installed
        device (14E4:4312) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

将wlan0写入到ndiswrapper alias

sudo ndiswrapper -m

启动ndiswrapper：
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

配置WLAN:

System -> administration -> network

让系统在每次启动时都自动加载ndiswrapper，编辑/etc/modules，

加入该行

ndiswrapper

显卡和wifi的就这么多了，指纹还没找到方法，也不知道Linux是否支持指纹登录。下面是原文，如果有意思上的出入，请指正。

Ubuntu 7.04 installation on HP Compaq 6515b notebook installation- AMD Turion(tm) 64 MK-38

Thanks for Voide referecne link. I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on HP Compaq 6515b notebook .

Below are the  How to and outstanding problem to share with you :

Ubuntu 7.04  install on HP Compaq 6515b notebook

AMD AMD Turion(tm) 64 MK-38、AMD M690T chipset、512M DDR2 667 RAM、80GB SATA Hard Drive、ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 1270 display card、14 inch “WXGA”LCD display with 1280×800、

The Ubuntu live CD does not work with ATIMobility Radeon Xpress 1270 display card.
The BroadCOM wireless LAN ，does not work with Ubuntu too。

The solution:

Download AMD 64 Ubuntu7.04 alternate ISO，burn to a CD. Boot the CD to start installation，choose text mode installation。Choose English language (don't choose Chinese ).

After install Ubuntu7.04 , you will see error message on X start up, then will drop you into text console.

Login and do the following :

1、ATI driver installation

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

sudo depmod -a

sudo aticonfig --initial

Reboot , you should  see the gdm running and the X window will work 。

Remark:6515b display resolution is 1280x800.

2、Wireless LAN driver installation

disable bcm43xx driver

sudo rmmod bcm43xx

add the keneal driver into black list：

sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Add the line：

blacklist bcm43xx

Go to HP website to download Windows XP driver for the wireless LAN card.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?&lang=en&cc=us...

Extract the file under Windows XP, you will get a directory :

   C:/SWSetup.

There are two driver version, one is 5.0 another is 6.0

I have not try the 6.0 version. But the 5.0 Version will work. If someone tested the 6.0 version, please let me know.

Copy it to your ubuntu home directory for ndiswrapper use later.  

Now, atp-get diswrapper-utils-1.9

sudo ndiswrapper -i /the location of/SWSetup/the location of version5 driver/bcmwl5.inf

Check ndiswrapper driver :

sudo ndiswrapper -l

You should see :

bcmwl5 : driver installed
        device (14E4:4312) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

Write wlan0 to ndiswrapper alias

sudo ndiswrapper -m

start ndiswrapper：
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Start netwrok admin tools to configurate the Wireless LAN:

System -> administration -> network

Finally, enable the system to load ndiswrapper when reboot.

edit /etc/modules，

add the line

ndiswrapper

Remark :

The update manager will ask you to update the ubuntu.

But don't update the kernel to 2.6.20-16. I tred but the ndiswrapper did not work and the notebook will hang when reboot.

I don't know why.

Outstanding issues:

1. APIC error

kernel: [ 1282.069369] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)

This error message keep generated to fill up the syslog.

I have searched the web , but there are no real solution on this error.

Ubuntu and Debian only suggest to disable the APIC in kernel to prevent this error message happen.

But this is not a solution to the problem.

If a notbook runing with out APIC , you are lost all power management function. You battery will run out very quickly.

Also you will not be able to power down your notebook by shutdown command.

You have to press the power button to power off your notebook manually.

If any one have soltuion , please let me know.

2. Fringerprint : not working

Don't know where to get driver to make it work.

3. Suspend to RAM & Disk : Don't know how to set it up.

Any one can help to solve the above problem ?
