| Chapter 5 - Hardware Discovery and Audit | < ^ > |
Before attempting to boot the LiveCD or install Linux, it's wise to get as detailed a list as possible of the hardware in your system. The Dialogue website contains some useful info, as does the System Information app in Windows XP. From these two sources, the following list was built:
| Device Class | Device Detail | Interface |
| Audio | ALi 5451 | PCI |
| Video | ATI Radeon Mobility M6 16 MB | PCI |
| IDE | ALi M5229 Bus Mastering Controller | PCI |
| Firewire | Texas Instruments PCI4510 OHCI IEEE1394 | PCI |
| Winmodem | ALi M5457 AC'97 Winmodem | PCI |
| Ethernet | RealTek RTL-8139 | PCI |
| PCMCIA Bridge | Texas Instruments PCI4510 PC Card Controller | PCI |
| PCI-ISA Bridge | ALi M1533 (Aladdin IV) | PCI |
| PMU | ALi M7101 Power Management Controller | PCI |
| PCI Chipset | ALi 1535+ | Motherboard |
| CPU | Transmeta Crusoe TM5800 1 GHz | Motherboard |
| Wifi | Prism3 chipset | USB |
| Bluetooth | Appears to be generic USB BT module | USB |
| GSM / GPRS Phone | Siemens MC45 GPRS | USB |
| Touchscreen | PenMount - odd interface | PCI/ISA bridge |
There also appears to be a 'Flybook System Controller' device in Windows, which presumably is responsible for responding to / activating the 'special' function key controls (e.g. speaker volume control, hibernation, turning Wifi / Bluetooth / GPRS on/off). Linux doesn't seem to see this.
The Dialogue spec sheet claims the motherboard is ACPI compliant for power and suspend to RAM or disk.
