I just successfully installed Linux Mint 18 XFCE edition on my mini 2133. I only had to download the broadcom wireless firmware (on my 4211agn I only get the G band though) and the openchrome drivers (to enable my 1280×600 screen resolution). My HP 2133 Mini-Note with WSVGA (1024x600) display has been out on loan for several months. Transfer the files to the 2133 and then install from that. Linux Mint 9. It was difficult and.
What I have: Lubuntu 16.10 running on HP 2133. First, fixed wifi issue installing firmware-b43 as suggested here: Next, tried to improve the screen resolution as it stuck on 640x480. Installed openchrome as suggested here So what i have is screen resolution improved (1024x768), but wifi disappeared. Install Mac Os X On Hp Probook 4540s Price. Interestingly, but wifi recovers once chrome9 is purged. Lspci says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01) 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) So, in the other words, I either have wifi or normal screen resolution.
Any suggestions? I am the developer of OpenChrome DDX graphics device driver. I am responsible for breaking the code of OpenChrome DDX Version 0.5 that inadvertently disabled HP 2133's WLAN. Someone else complained about the same issue back in December 2016, and the issue was resolved in Version 0.6 (March 2017).
At the time of Version 0.5 release, I did not have HP 2133 for testing, so had no way to avoid breaking the code. VIA never made VN896 chipset graphics hardware programming guide public (they did it for the newer stuff like VX800 chipset). Hp Smart Update Manager Iso there. Epson 4000 Adjustment Wizard Program For Dell more. If you want a fix, you will likely have to compile the latest OpenChrome code from the code repository and install it. Please note that Canonical rarely fixes serious bugs during the support period of the OS, and I think the bug is present even with Lubuntu 17.04. I will assume Lubuntu 16.04.3 HWE (Hardware Enablement) or Lubuntu 17.10 should resolve the issue. Regards, Kevin Brace The OpenChrome Project maintainer / developer.
