Knoppix dutifully reports that this D620 has got this nifty collection of hardware:Ġ0:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)Ġ0:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML and 945GT Express PCI Express Root Port (rev 03)Ġ0:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)Ġ0:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 01)Ġ0:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 01)Ġ0:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 3 (rev 01)Ġ0:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 01)Ġ0:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 01)Ġ0:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 01)Ġ0:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 01)Ġ0:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01)Ġ0:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e1)Ġ0:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01)Ġ0:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 01)Ġ0:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 01)Ġ1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 01d7 (rev a1)Ġ3:01.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. dev/sda1 is the Dell Utility partition it looks like it’s a standard DOS partition with the Dell diagnostic utilities. Then I erased and re-created /dev/sda3 using all the remaining space:ĭisk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytesĢ55 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders
I created a dummy partion with 1GB as /dev/sda3 and a swap partition with 4GBas /dev/sda4 near the end of the disk. I booted with Knoppix DVD 5.0 and used qtparted to resize the original Windows partition down to 8GB. Since the fingerprint utilities run in windows and I have no idea if they will ever be accessible from Linux -either natively or under WINE/Xen/VMware- I decided to keep it around for the time being. As usual, you should try these tips under your own risk, and your mileage may vary. This is my personal experience with the Dell Latitude D620 using Debian GNU/Linux. And please oh please don’t hesitate to write or leave a comment to contribute. I’m making changes as I go along, so if you find this interesting please check back often. As of 200609222 this is still a work in progress.
