 * Contact: JaapJanVanDerVeen , Exactt
 * Brand: Compal
 * Make : HEL
 * Model: 80
 * Website: [[http://www.compal.com/index_En.htm|Compal homepage]]
   * Specifications: [[http://www.compal.com/Product/Html/notebook/EL80.htm]]

The HEL80 is similar to the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/CompalHEL81|HEL81]]. The main differences are the Nvidia Geforce Go 7600, the presence of a web cam and a finger printer and four extra media buttons.

Compal sells the HEL80 with two different screens a glossy WXGA+ (1280x800) and a matte WSXGA+ (1680x1050) screen. The laptop used for testing has the latter screen.

== Current Issues ==
## List any issues you have with the current development release here
  * Finger printer not working. This device is also found in the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Lenovo3000N100_0768|Lenovo 3000N]].
  * The modem also isn't working. Same type as [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/CompalHEL81|Compal HEL81]].
  * Built- in dual (analog/ DVB-T) TV- tuner isn't working (10fd:0535). There is a website dedicated to getting the Trident TM6000 chip to work in video4linux: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Trident_TM6000.
  * The bootloader needs the "noapic" option in order to preserve energy. See ReschedulingInterrupts for more information.

=== Notes ===
  1. These keys are located at the top, next to the leds for Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock
  2. These keys are located on the left. They have a double meaning, but that is because rumour has it that Compal wanted to create a stand- alone media player, outside of an OS. But that idea was never realized. Hence, the Mode on/ off key has no special function.
  3. Made the external monitor work with this added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
{{{
Section "Device"
...
#enable dual-screen
        Option          "TwinView"              "True"
        Option          "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP, CRT"
        Option          "ConnectedMonitor"      "DFP-0,CRT-0"
        Option          "TwinViewOrientation"   "DFP LeftOf CRT"
        Option          "MetaModes"             "DFP-0: 1680x1050, CRT-0: 1400x1050_60; DFP-0: 1680x1050, CRT-0: NULL;"
...
#/enable dual-screen
EndSection
}}}
Add everything between both '...' (do not include the three dots) and edit the resolutions to what you need. Then restart X and you will be able to change the resolution under 'System' --> 'Preferences' --> 'Screen Resolution'.
  4. An open-source driver is available from [[https://groups.google.com/group/microdia|here]]. A binary driver for the built-in webcam(ID 0c45:624f) can be obtained [[http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/news/|here]]. For further information see the Webcam section of [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Lenovo3000N100_0768|Lenovo 3000N]]
  5. If followed [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend|this]] to get suspend2ram working. But unlike stated there I set Option "NvAGP" "0" (not "1"). I followed step 2 as described. Furthermore I added two lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
{{{
blacklist intel_agp
blacklist agpgart
}}}
  Finally here comes the weird part. Run glxgears for a couple of seconds and suspend is working. Alternatively you can activate Desktop Effects to get it working.
