Nov 22, 2008 I currently have a Dell Latitude E5400, and run Linux on it. Graphics (OK with default installation of Ubuntu 8.1 Intrepid) Graphics works perfectly with the 'intel' driver of xorg (at least as of X.Org version 1.4.2). I have a nice WXGA widescreen (1280x800), I am able to use a docking station and can switch to a video projector with the powerful randr extension (I recommend to use arandr).
The Dell Latitude E5430 is a business line laptop made for corporate users who have a need for durability. This article will tell you how to get the basic components of the laptop running with Arch.

Wireless
It has been reported to come with the chip Broadcom BCM43228 embedded in a Dell Wireless 1540 802.11 A/N Dual Band, High Speed Wi-Fi Half Mini-card, which can be confirmed by running the following:
The driver to be used must be either the reverse-engineered open-source
b43
module together with blob firmware b43-firmwareAUR, or the proprietary wl
module via broadcom-wl or broadcom-wl-dkms.See Broadcom wireless and Dell Wireless 1540 on WikiDevi for more info.
Troubleshooting
Issue with XKeyboardConfig
While starting the graphic interface, you might come across with the issue !6 reported in xkbcomp's Gitlab issue list at freedesktop Gitlab. It seems to apply to both Xorg and Wayland. During the display server startup, the XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomb) reports:
One solution is to comment out the following lines in the file
/usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/basic
. The double forward-slash is the comment symbol.This solution of provided in the forum thread Xkeyboard/xkbcomp gives warnings.

Hello all,Mint Version 8
System: Dell Mini 10v, purchased late November 2009; brand new install on clean partition
Wireless: Broadcom 4312 (rev 1)
Symptoms: Fresh install. Wireless not working. Upon installing proprietary (STA) wireless driver, system behaves strangely, and wireless does not work on reboot. Driver is still active, but 'not in use.' Deactivating and reactivating driver works, as well as installing another driver, then switching back to STA driver.
Given that Dell is pushing sales of their netbooks this year, I assume this solution might be helpful to others. I spent a while reading Ubuntu forums and saw a number of problems with this wireless configuration, so this may not be applicable to your system.
My solution:
My wireless (using a terminal command):
gives:
Code: Select all
This has a better chance of being applicable to you if you get the same info.When using the live CD, you may or may not get wireless working. If you do, it might turn your screen black and freeze your system. Don't worry.
With a fresh install on Mint 8, use the proprietary driver -- Broadcom STA wireless driver. If this doesn't show up in the 'tray' area on the bottom-right of the screen, go to Control Center, Hardware, Hardware Drivers, and you should see the STA driver there. (You may be able to get the free driver working instead; I've read that it has its own problems and limitations, including only working on wireless g networks for this card. Some Broadcom 4312's aren't even supported, even though they have the same number.) You may need to connect to a wired connection to get this to work. Otherwise, you'll have to get the Broadcom driver on another computer and transfer via USB stick:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
It will probably tell you that you need to reboot. Before you do, you may notice that your wireless becomes active. Again, if you try to use it, it may give you a black screen and/or freeze your system. It may work fine. (I tried this a couple times, and different things happened.)
However, when you follow the directions to reboot, you'll load up and discover that wireless is not working. If you go to Control Center and check out the Hardware Drivers again, you'll probably see a message saying 'This driver is activated but not in use.' If you do a
at the terminal, the wireless card will be 'UNCLAIMED'. If you deactivate the STA driver and reactivate, it will probably work again.
The problem is that a kernel module is missing. To see if my fix will solve your problem, type
Code: Select all
Wait a few seconds, and your wireless may begin working. If so, you need to make this fix permanent, since the problem will recur when you reboot. Do the following:Then add the following line to the end of the file (the missing module):
Code: Select all
Save the file. Reboot. If wireless works, you're all set. If not, you'll have to comb through the hundreds of messages about this wireless driver on the Ubuntu and other Linux forums, since it seems like there are about a dozen different problems people are having with this driver. Other solutions people have tried (and which worked for some) include:Make sure your wireless is turned on. (Obvious, but make sure.)
On the Mini 10v, reset your BIOS settings so that you have multimedia rather than function keys (F1, F2, etc.) by default. For some reason, for some people having the function keys by default means that Wireless is turned off. You enter BIOS by hitting F2 right as your computer boots. The setting is under Advanced, Function Key Behavior. Change to 'Multimedia.' Save and exit BIOS (F10).
Download upgrades (requires a wired connection):
Reinstall Broadcom driver (also may require internet)
Code: Select all
Some have seen success by combining the previous reinstall with first removing the Broadcom wireless detection package:If these don't work, you'll need to go for more technical fixes, perhaps starting by blacklisting bad modules that may be interfering with your wireless. In particular, it might be useful to try getting rid of b43, ndiswrapper and/or ssb:
Code: Select all
Then modprobe wl as above. If that works, blacklist ndiswrapper and ssb by adding this to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.confWarning -- if you add these to the blacklist, you won't be able to try other drivers than the proprietary Broadcom STA driver. If you want to try using Windows wrapped drivers or free Linux ones, remove these blacklist lines.
People have solved similar problems a half a dozen other ways, so good luck... These are just the quickest and easiest solutions for this particular wireless configuration. If others have further suggestions, or other solutions, feel free to add. As I said, it's clear that lots of people are having lots of different problems with these drivers and configurations.
But hopefully this post might save some people a little time, particularly if you have a similar system or similar symptoms.
By the way, my first post to these forums. Brand new user of Mint. (Also use Debian and sometimes Ubuntu, as well as having experience with a number of other distros.) Very happy so far.
