I maintain a few Crux ports which might be of interest for Compaq Armada users. You can take a look at it here. See the section called “Updating your ports” on how to import it. Here is a list of Armada and laptop targeted packages.
a KDE program to configure synaptics touchpads. You'll get a Control Center module as well as a systray applet. Depends on qt3, KDE and libsynaptics.
a small C++ library to configure synaptics touchpads. Depends on qt3 and KDE.
To set the brightness of your screen. Written originally for Compaq Armada M300 screens, but it seems to work for the E500 as well. Read the README file for usage instructions.
