Re: Compile a Kernel

 

Hi Burkhard,

I'm running XP (32 bits, SP3) and Fedora (not Ubuntu, but I guess it doesn't matter for this case). 
I'm using FF and the proprietary Adobe flash plug-in. 

I'm a bit confused about some of the things you said. The 3810TZ has an Intel Pentium SU2700 which is single core and does not run at 64 bits.

Also, I did give everyone false information and the suspend/resume does not work on the 32 bits version of Linux. Apparentely there is a fix for the 64 bits version.

I (now) got a 3810tz as well; I'm with Ubuntu 9.10. Webcam works, but I haven't really tested suspending and stuff. I'm interested in your comment about flash, because my experience was quite the opposite. It worked better in Windows 7 64 bit with Internet Explorer than it does now with Ubuntu, Firefox and the 64 bit alpha version of the flash plugin. It seemed to me that Windows managed to employ both cores to 100% whereas Ubuntu doesn't. What browser and which flash plugin do you use? Do you use the 32 bit version, is it faster than the 64 bit alpha version (which seems to work reasonably well otherwise, for me)?
