http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/hpijs_readme.html hpinkjet.sourceforge.net The Hewlett-Packard Inkjet Driver Project is a add-on to the GNU Ghostscript application. This driver is open source software based on the Hewlett Packard Appliance Printing Development Kit APDK for deskjet printers. The Hewlett-Packard Inkjet Driver Project (HPIJS) is a add-on printer driver for GNU Ghostscript. This driver is open source software based on the Hewlett-Packard Appliance Printing Development Kit APDK for deskjet printers. The driver will take RGB rasters from Ghostscript and converts them to printer-ready-bits.

LCD Panel Technology Explained - S-IPS, H-IPS, S-PVA, MVA and TN

There are many different LCD panel technologies used in the production of LCD monitors. They range from budget TN panels to expensive, professional quality H-IPS and MVA panels. The average consumer usually has no idea what LCD panel technology is used in their LCD. In fact, many power users are also unaware, simply because the panel type is not often advertised in a prominent area. http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php

Installing Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) on an X301 - ThinkWiki

pretty much all of the fn+... keys work (not all tested yet) tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight Seems to work fine. The gnome power manager reports ~3h30 which sounds about right. The [Fn] + [F3] combination even causes the applet to pop up info :) Closing the lid puts the machine to sleep, i often managed to resume from ram but i also got frozen (mouse moveable but switching to console doesn't work, screen remains black except for the pointer (i have a black screensaver)) - caution here (solution below) - The Installing_Debian_(stable)_on_an_X300#Suspend_.26_Hibernate article suggests removing the e1000e module which i haven't tried but may help. The 2.6.28-rc3-git1 kernel features a suspend fix for the iwl-agn (wireless) driver, so if that was an issue, it might be gone with the next kernel (not shipped with ubuntu 8.10)
Welcome to the home of Hewlett-Packard's Linux Imaging and Printing software (HPLIP). Chances are, your Linux system already has the HPLIP software installed. That's because all major Linux distributions regularly pick up the HPLIP software and include it with their distribution installation. However, if it is not installed or you need to upgrade to a newer HPLIP version to support your printer, you've come to the right place. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html

EeePC - Community Ubuntu Documentation

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC The Asus EeePC is a family of popular low cost ultra portable notebook computers, or "subnotebooks". To install Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC in its stock form, you will have to create a USB based bootable installer or use a USB-connected CD-ROM drive to run/install Ubuntu. In addition to this, a few simple software modifications may have to be completed for hardware support depending on your EeePC model. This documentation has been divided up in to three main sections: There are several splinter distributions customized for the eeepc, which offer built in support for all the tweaks and drivers necessary to use Ubuntu on the EeePC. Array.org has a listing of several of the distributions (along with the customized kernel that those distros use).
This section contains a listing of common WLAN Windows drivers that we have compiled for your convenience. If your product isn't listed, you can find the driver on the manufacturer's website or on the CDROM which might have accompanied the product. If you are unsure about which chipset it is based on, please consult the WLAN Adapter Chipset Directory

http://linuxbios.org/Welcome_to_LinuxBIOS coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload . With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly from firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI . This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.

Acer Ferrari 5000-5832 15.4" Notebook PC (AMD Turion 64 X2

Get ready to feel the high-speed computing power of the Acer Ferrari 5000-5832 (model LX.FR50U.059), a continuation of the speedy, mobile-centric laptops the two companies have previously collaborated on. Sleekly styled, the Ferrari 5000's carbon-fiber casing--which is stronger and lighter than aluminum--comes in a more conservative black and is accented with exclusive Ferrari red edges and the classic yellow prancing horse Ferrari logo, and the interior has a rubberized coating. This notebook also incorporates an HD DVD drive that's compatible with the new high-definition DVD disc format. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Ferrari-5000-5832-Processor-Ultimate/dp/B000LO8ZPM
Kodak’s early proprietary .KDC photo format varies from camera to camera. DC-40 / -50′s .KDC may be similar to one used in the DC-120, but at least one Linux-based conversion program can handle only DC-120′s .KDC’s, but not DC-40 or DC-50′s. Perhaps the change of CCD between the DC-40 / -50 & DC-120 generation cameras explains difference. The following devices are classified as YELLOW BAND . Devices classed as YELLOW BAND are considered to be unreliable or do not provide complete functionality and are not recommended for purchase: http://leenooks.com/

Karl's Home Page - Bluetooth on Linux

http://www.g7smy.co.uk/?linux/bt Bluetooth is a point to point wireless networking protocol, with a range of around 10 meters on the smaller devices. I wanted to surf the internet using my Palm Tungsten, and develop a couple of web based utilitys. This document is an attempt to collect together all the problems I had while installing it. A cheap USB dongle costs around £40, check to see if your device is compatable here: http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/devices.html .
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring ) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing ). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on a computer (e.g.

Have you ever felt teased when driver developers of other operating systems teased you about a lack of a "proper" driver development kit for Linux? Have you felt left out of the crowd when looking at the 36 cdrom package of documentation and example source code that other operating systems provide for their developers? Well feel ashamed no longer! In coordination with the FreedomHEC conference this week in Seattle, WA, USA, I'm proud to announce the first release of the Linux Device Driver Kit. It is a cd image that contains everything that a Linux device driver author would need in order to create Linux drivers, including a full copy of the O'Reilly book, "Linux Device Drivers, third edition" and pre-built copies of all of the in-kernel docbook documentation for easy browsing. It even has a copy of the Linux source code that you can directly build external kernel modules against.
