Acpi_call for optimus notebooks

Hi,
I'm using Arch on a Lenovo Z370 which has both the integrated sandybridge graphics chip and a Vvidia 410M GPU. In Arch I don't need the Nvidia GPU at all since the Intel chip can play 1080p videos, which is the most I need on Arch.
I found a promising project here.
I used it on Ubuntu before, but it won't build under Arch. There is something wrong in the makefile.
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/build M=/home/axle/acpi_call modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2
Now I'm not that much of a linux programmer, and would appreciate it a lot if someone could tell me what I have to change in the makefile to get it to work in Arch.
Greetings, pixle

Turning of nvidia with acpi_call work perfect for me with Optimus. You just need:
sudo pacman -Sy kernel26-headers

Imac as external monitor for windows Notebook

Hi,
I want to switch from my Windows Pc to a mac for private use.
I prefer the new iMac (2011) 21,5" but I could not get an definite answer (not even in my local apple store) if it is possible to connect an existing Notebook (with VGA Mini-d-sub or DVI connector) to the new iMac in order to use the iMac as an external monitor for the Notebook.
I definitely need this for my business work in my home-office so this information is vital.
If ist is not possible I have to take the macMini and stay with my standard monitor.
Can please someone tell me if it is possible at all and if so, how it can be done.
I searched the internet and only found out that it was possible with the older 27" model but no information for the 2011 21,5" so please help!
Thank you in advance for your Support.

Hi,
Sorry to say, but ...
The 2011 iMacs (21.5" and 27") can only be used as a second display via a Thunderbolt-to-Thunderbolt cable.
The 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs can be used as a second display via a DisplayPort connection.

Can't find drivers for my notebook

Hi,
I am in need of drivers for my notebook, and the site where I would usually get them from (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=au&dlc=en&lc=en&product=7169846) is not working at all. Is there some other page where I can download drivers? The notebook is the HP Pavilion 15-p025AX and the P/N is J3Z02PA#ABG.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's the maximum RAM for this notebook (ze2000)?

Hello,
i want to find out, what's the max memory for notebook ze2000 (p/n: EF062EA#ABU)

Hi:
According to the service manual for your notebook at the link below, maximum is 2 x 512 MB for 1 GB.
Chapter 1, page 1-3.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00400869.pdf
I would run the free Crucial Memory scanner and see what it reports. 1 GB seems pretty low for the hardware in your notebook.

Does HP offer an unlocked bios for entertainment notebooks?

Model is a dv6 3240ca entertainment notebook. Bios is up to to date with v. f.29. The settings are super limted. About the only thng it offers is USB boot option and hardware scanning.
My other notebook, a probook 4510s has a much more dynamic bios with many more options.
Is there a download available for the dv6 with unlocked bios?
I am very reluctant to resort to mods as I've heard many horror stories!
Thanks

My MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

Hello, my MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

First up, we don't know what kind of MacBook you have so we can't tell you what OS you can run. You can use this instruction to identify which MacBook model you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1635. Alternatively, from the Apple menu open "About this Mac". From the window that pops up, click "More Info". This will open the system profiler. Click "Hardware" and locate the model identifier, there.
Next, you need to determine if your system can even run Mavericks before you can go about installing it. These are the requirements:
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Lastly, as you'll note from the above, you can't update to Mavericks (or Mountain Lion or Lion) from 10.5.8. Mavericks is only available in the App Store. You need to be running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) in order to download and install any OS from Lion (10.7) and up. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

V6500 BIOS "not for your Notebook PC"

The HP website has a BIOS posted for my notebook that I am attempting to download and apply. However, when I download and run it, it gives me the message "This BIOS is not for your Notebook PC." What is the problem here? Is this the right file behind the link? Is there an issue with my notebook?
Here are the particulars:
System:
Compaq Presario V6500Z CTO
Windows Vista
BIOS:
sp42141.exe
F.31
The HP Health Check, Total Care Advisor, and the HP Support website all tell me to apply this BIOS file.

I have this same exact problem. It looks like any BIOS on the website for my specific model number give me the message Not for your notebook pc. It appears to automatically laucnh winflash64, but I chose Vista 32 bit. not sure if that is the issue.
I tried the firmware upgrade for the hard drive and it fails.
Tried the optical drive update and the update is not for my device

But I am running Windows 8 So which ones or which one do I need? I already clearly posted that I am running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit Is there two updates I need if so please advise which ones for Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. Thank you!
I noticed 1504 says supports Windows 8 I flashed it and when I went into system bios I still see the same firmware version: ME FW Verision: 8.0.0.1351
Since you are using Windows 8, then go for 1504

This is ME FW, not EC FW. This is not suppose to change after EC update.
This one should change:

If you use Windows 8 OS, then go and flash 1504,
else [if you use different OS] then go and flash 1414

I updated the system bios to the latest revision. Now I'm just hopping to do the firmware upgrade. It sounds like a two part bios update for the firmware based on your reply. Please clarify your statement?
Which BIOS ver you currently has?

Seeking Sound Blaster recommendations for a notebook

I'm looking for a solution for a notebook which provides OpenAL and EAX 5.0 support for my games which use those. Ease of portability is not an overwhelming factor, though it would be appreciated. Most (≈ 95%) of my gaming as well as general notebook use is done with headphones, but I occasionally use external speakers; lack of 7.1-channel support isn't a deal breaker, but it, or even just 5.1-channel support, would be nice to have. With regard to this notebook, audio immersiveness in games is a greater priority than audio immersiveness in, say, movies, but I'm seeking a solution that is performant across-the-board. From what I can gather, and unfortunately I don't have info on the Sound Blaster X7 or any other near-future products, my options are:
1) Sound Blaster E5
2) Sound Blaster X-Fi HD
3) Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 software (for Realtek ALC892, if supported)
4) Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro
5) Sound Blaster Recon3D
6) Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro
7) Sound Blaster Play! 2
I've ranked these highest to lowest by what I expect the quality to be (and my guesstimate may be completely wonky), but I would appreciate any feedback. It's unclear to me if any of the aforementioned X-Fi branded products actually offer hardware-accelerated EAX, although the X-Fi HD, which has a CA0189 chip, is advertised as offering it (http://www.soundblaster.com/products...r-X-Fi-HD.aspx), as is the Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro (http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Sound.../dp/B0044DEDC0). I know the Sound Core3D/SB-Axx1 products use Host OpenAL. I also don't know if any of the seven above would conflict with Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software.

Hi James,
Thanks for your question. If you want a device that would work well with LabVIEW, why not use NI hardware! All of our hardware work seamlessly with LabVIEW and they are all supported by National Instruments as well.
We have a range of modules that would be suitable for your application. If you prefer one of our engineers could even come onsite (free of charge) and talk to you about your application and how you plan to use your NI card. We have branches all over the world so you would be supported no matter where you are. As you know we also have local support in the UK.
For more information please call 01635 523 545 and ask to speak with one of our Sales Engineers.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions.
