abf: If you get the hardware buttons up let me know how . I'm not sure how myself (guess I should read up). For resolution change I manually edit xorg.conf as my M6811 does only 1280x800 I replace 1024x768 under 24 bit. Powermanagement seems to work when I set it but my lappy is mainly a desktop replacement.

media card reader, hardware buttons, power management, resolution


stuff that worked under ubuntu:
sound, wireless, resolution, power management, hardware buttons
stuff not working under ubuntu:
media card reader, fglrx

so in the end this distro is about on-par with ubuntu in terms of stuff working. one thing i will give to PCLOS is that it is quite a bit faster than ubuntu, AND it has a control panel that sets it on par with SUSE's Yast.

Now i am gonna go try resolve my power management and resolution issues.
So that took what, all of an hour? how long for install and how long for tweaks?

Thread Starter 
install took about 1/2 hour. fixing the resolution took 1 minute (edit xorg.conf), i've given up hope on the card reader (0 minutes), i am still googling for possible solutions on the power management, also tried a few ideas to no avail (2 days and counting), hardware buttons...

ok, i am a Gnome user and i don't know jack about KDE....where do i go to assign media buttons?

PcLinuxOS has a good support forum but I guess I was too LAZY to look for the macro's answer and other issues but I'll take a look.
