| Press release

Currently 190 AG150's in process of being wiped of data per agreement with Sunverge.


For the time being, using this location to keep some information about them.

Intel GMA 500 graphics

Also known as the infamous Poulsbo, this is based on a PoverVR architechture and does not belong to the well supported family of integrated intel graphics adapters. The appropriate kernel module for this graphics is gma500_gfx, although it works fine, it does not offer any acceleration and it has some caveats.

Even when you disable from BIOS, it will think LVDS-1 is connected. It will further assume that the LVDS is 1920x1080 (or at least some widescreen resolution) and kms will switch to this resolution. If you are using one of the many monitors we have in the space, which cannot handle such resolution, this is why you might lose console during boot. To work around you can add 'video=1024x768' to your kernel parameters for terminal and you can stick a 'xrandr --output LVDS-1 --off' to your .xinitrc or some such place.

Intel Centrino radio

Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WiFi/Bluetooth card.

Available Intel supported LINUX kernel iwiwifi driver possibility NOT best configured with connman that requires uninstalling network-manager !

So far Lubuntu 15.04 with Blueman works the best with managing this radio. WiFi, Bluetooth v2, and Bluetooth v4.

Audio in/out

The audio is an HD Intel card with a Realtek ALC888-VD chipset. To enable the mic input, in alsamixer, enable “Rear Mic” and “Capture” devices (space bar while under each item). I don’t recommend turning up the Rear Mic Boost, it doesn’t seem to do much anyway.


Power Supply

You must provide your own power supply to use these units. Power requirements are 8-19v at 60W. In reality, anything between 9-19v and at least 2A seems to work fine. 60w-12v-5A-AC-DC-Power-Adapter | These are $15 plus shipping as of 1-2016; they work fine but are bit of an overkill. Multiple members have found suitable power supplies in goodwill.
