F8-x86_64 on the Acer Ferrari 3400LMi
1 Introduction
This document is primarily designed for my own records for future use. However,
it is always nice if it may help others to get started with Linux on their laptops.
The steps to get things to play on the Acer Ferrari 3400 Lmi are described here.
Most procedures are general and may be useful for other hardware as well.
! ! ! WARNING ! ! !
However, I must warn those of you that still enjoy the luxury of an independent
mind and free will. Stay away! Do not ever lay your hands on the Ferrari.
The same warning applies to the GNU/Linux software platform in general. It

1.1 Version
This is an updated version of this document. This time I have chosen to install
Fedora 8 x86_64, and many things has really changed to the better. The first
version dealt with FC4-x86_64, and there are no major changes for FC5-x86_64.
Consequently, if you are heading for FC4 or FC5 you probably want to have a
look at the previous version of this document. While some details may be specific
for Fedora, most stuff should translate to other distributions as well.
1.2 Quick reference guide
I've got all of the hardware working. Although, somethings need some extra
tweaks. A summary may be found in the table below
