Install Ubuntu / Linux on a HP / Compaq CQ71 - 103EF

I installed the operating system Ubuntu on a Compaq Presario CQ71 - 103EF laptop machine. This article is to share the information that I obtained during the process.

While the basic functions are OK, there are problems. As often with laptops, especially very recent machines, a lot of things do not work, or do not work out of the box. The version of Ubuntu is 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope).

Here are some of the hardware components:

Graphics card Mobile Intel 4 Express. Worked immediately, at 1600x900 resolution.
"5-in-1" memory card reader. Worked immediately.
Wired network: Ethernet Realtek RTL8102E/8103E. Worked immediately (tested only at 100 Mb/s).
Wireless: Wifi Atheros AR5007. Worked immediately, but with a non-free driver. It stopped working after a while. The hardware button (blue when On, orange when off) seems to be unreliable on Compaqs.
Sound: Intel 82801I (ICH9). Requires some work and does not work perfectly (see later).
ACPI: hibernation works fine but sleeping does not: the machine goes to sleep but waking up crashes it (typically with kernel panic).
CD-ROM. Worked immediately. Untested for burning and for DVDs.

The sound card does not work perfectly. Following https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/274424, I had to add this in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1
