This is a guide to running Linux with the HP-Compaq 6710B laptop. The 6710B is a mid to high end laptop but without a overblown pricetag. This guide is intended to provide you details on how well this laptop works with Linux and which modules you need to configure. For details on how to actually install and configure the required modules have a look at section for distribution specific instructions. This page is just for discussing using Linux on the HP-Compaq 6710b. For a general discussion about this laptop you can visit the. Editing This Page.

Due to ACPI issues with older kernel versions, it is recommended you use a Linux distribution which includes kernel version 2.6.21 or higher, such as Fedora 7, with the HP 6710B. Installing Ubuntu Feisty using the LiveCD will likely result in the error: /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off At prompt the enter: 'modprobe piix' and then 'exit' (no quotes) to continue the boot. However afterwards you will likely have problems with the graphics driver. The Intel driver in all current Linux distributions is too old to properly support the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100. It does not allow you to set the proper screen resolution. You will need to update the Intel driver for your distribution before the correct screen resolution can be used.

You can download the driver. I will write up a guide on installing this driver in the next few days. ( is a guide on how to install the driver on Ubuntu 7.04) Wireless LAN won't work if a network cable is attached to the laptop at the same time if “ LAN/WLAN switching” is enabled in the BIOS settings.If the setting is enabled you will see that an ipw3945 device was detected and configured but there will be no ifconfig or iwconfig entries for the device. Pretty confusing when doing a network install using the wired network card and then trying to get the WLAN interface working, so better disable this setting during installation at least. Hi I am running HP 6710b laptop(CenTos Linux) and i am trying to upgrade the RAM from the 1gb to the max 4gb.

When I started I though it had a 2gb stick, but it shows on the lable that it's a 1gb. It has 2 slots and the max is 4gb. When i replaces the Memory, in both of the slots, at first only 1 slot was filled. “2gb in each”, the system only shows 1gb in each total of 2gb in the slot and not 4gbs total. Is there any one with an ideal on whats going on? I initaly had xp on the computer and I removed it. I can only fully agree that 6710b is perfectly balanced price/performance if you are a business user.

One year ago I started with Ubuntu 8.04 x64 and had it installed until December with Windows in parallel boot. The Gnome desktop and some small issues with hardware made look forward to Ubuntu 8.10 and also a change KDE. In the end I have tried at least 10 different distros in all kind of flavors.

Now finally I think I can settle with Open Suse 11. Canon Copier Pc 775 Manual Lawn. 1 x64 with KDE 4.2. At least for a while.

There are still some issues with hardware, graphic and ACPI mostly, you have yo solve manually. Open Suse is fantastic OS out-of-box, except for some non- OSS principals. To solve the graphic issue you really have to get into the X11-org world. And if you not are a techie it can take you some time to find the correct bin or source code to compile. This guide saved my day: The fingerprinter reader is not an issue for me. I rather use my own clever passwords. The “Stand by” and “hibernation” issues seem to be solved in the current KDE4.2/Kernel combination for 11.1.

But to my experience old issues can pop-up in new builds. Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r5 (amd64) From the “etchnhalf” service release of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 you can use the new “intel” xorg driver, provided you switch to a new “etchnhalf” linux kernel. This backported driver supports only 2D. The PCMCIA works fine. Used for a 3G mobile network card. Problem areas: 1. Power management, ACPI suspend/hibernate: hibernate works (check that grub looks for the image at the right partition (swap) during boot).

Suspend to RAM does not work. Default setup that suspends when lid is closed, freezes the laptop. Best to simplify power management configuration. Bonobo-activation (GNOME) is hitting 100% CPU usage randomly/occasionally. After you kill the process it resumes normal operation until next time. During 100% CPU usage period you can no longer open new applications. You need to switch to terminal console and kill bonobo-activation from there.
