I've found this URL some time ago which seems to have quite a lot of replacement parts for the xe4500: http://www.impactcomputers.com/hewlett-packard-omnibook-xe4500-parts.html Here's the page or the antenna that should fit into the xe4500: http://www.impactcomputers.com/f4640-60976.html Haven't tried if it worked, but it might be what you are looking for. I bought a PCMCIA card after finding out that I'd have to disassemble my xe4500 to put in the antenna. HTH.

APM works well in Debian "sarge" and I believe ubuntu's ACPI fixes will be in Debian's "etch" release as well. As for a Windows Recovery CD, most vendors stopped doing those, I suspect Microsoft pressured them to do so because they didn't like the fact that people could use them as a way to install Windows on other machines. I can't remember if the ob6000 came with one or not, but even if it did I suspect there's no official way to get a replacement one now. That's what you get for using Windows I guess... :( There are people on this list that are good at helping with any Linux issues you might have on the ob6000 (this is a Linux list after all).

The partition is used for "suspect-to-disk" (aka hibernate) which is the APM suspend that writes the contents of your memory and the state of the processor and devices to that parition and then powers the machine off completely. Then when you turn it back on the BIOS checks that partition, sees that the machine had been suspended, and then restores the memory and cpu state from the disk and then you're back where you were when you suspended. The suspend and wake up process take maybe 30seconds to 2minutes depending on how much RAM you have. The other type of APM suspend is "suspend-to-ram" (aka suspend) and it just puts the machine in a low power state, but doesn't turn it all the way off. My ob500 could stay suspended for a day or two before the battery would run out. The suspend and wake up only takes a few seconds. Since my ob500 was never more than 12 hours from being in a docking station or plugged in to a travel adapter, I almost exclusively used "suspend". Every once in a while I would use "hibernate" if I knew I was going to be away from power for a while. If you want to be able to use "hibernate" you need to have the partition. The partition needs to be the size of your RAM plus some extra space for saving the CPU/video/etc state. If you need to recreate (or resize) the partition, you need to create a partition of the right size and with the right partition type and then use a Free Software tool to initialize the partition, IIRC it's lphdisk. The lphdisk software comes with instructions on how to size your partition, what type it needs to be, and how to initialize it.

I know I sent it, but I'm not sure whether it has been rejected or not due to the way gmail is grouping messages together) Hi ! My laptop is a zd8185ea and the omnibook kernel module doesn't support my hardware :( It loads successfully but I have not any usefull information in /proc/omnibook I've tried omke.pl with all parameters and nothing is working. Then I tried to load the omnibook module with all 12 ectypes and did a cat /proc/omnibook/temperature to see if I got a relevant value but I always get either 0 or 255 which I think is wrong. So my questions are : - Does someone on this list already owns a zd8000 laptop ? - What can I do to have my laptop supported ? - Do I have to use tools (under windows ?) to try to find the correct values of the registers ? How do I use them ? I'd like to help and get my laptop working...
