Manufacturer's page: Zyrex Cruiser GEF 525

This is still a work in progress. For the record, almost everything worked out of the box. I commented on some of the harder things I had to deal with below. But for the most part I'm relying on some communal help to completely document this baby :)

[edit] Model Specifics

[edit] Webcam

Using the m5602 branch of https://sourceforge.net/projects/m560x-driver/ driver works to some extent.

  * Picture is not correct, fuzzy and unsynchronized.
  * Display of picture is slow.
  * Lighting/coloring can be better.
  * xawtv works, cheese does not.

[edit] Suspend to RAM

Can suspend, cannot get out from suspend successfully, mostly hangs.

[edit] Special Keys

  • Fn-F1 toggles the camera (?)
  • Fn-F3 toggles LCD and external monitor (sometimes hangs Ubuntu 8.04)
  • Fn-F6 mutes audio
  • Fn-F8/Fn-F9 decreases/increases constrast
  • Fn-F10/Fn-F11 decreases/increases audio volume
  • Fn-F12 unrecognized symbol... need to look up manual
