Zyrex GEF525

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
