DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware.

If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware.

Important Note

Configuration

Display

The display will work with the vesa driver out of the box. The fbdev driver will also work.

Upgrading to buster the display works in 1024x600 at 60Hz but not the 1366x768 spec found in the manual.

For wheezy the mode will be 1024x600. OpenGL works. It might be possible to get the Intel Embedded Media Graphics Driver working under Wheezy (see below). The keyboard and trackpad will be detected by the Debian installer and work correctly without any work.

Under squeeze getting modes other than 640x480 (which is not exactly ideal) might be possible with the 915resolution module. In any case, add two drivers to /etc/modules:

uvesafb nocrtc mtrr=2
evdev

The second driver is for the keyboard. Use the evdev driver for the trackpad as well if you are running kernel 2.6.32-5-686 and don't want to patch the pcmouse driver to get the Xorg synaptics driver working (see below).

There is a native graphics driver from Intel but unfortunately it is non-free. It's called Intel Embedded Media Graphics Driver (IEMBD for short) and version 1.5.2 can be installed on Debian Squeeze, although this is not made clear in the documentation. For this driver evdev should also be added to /etc/modules to run input devices.

Audio

Intel HD Audio controller.

This works out of the box using the snd_hda_intel driver.

Mouse

For buster and wheezy the trackpad works out of the box.

For squeeze the trackpad works if you apply patches to the psmouse driver module. It takes a little time but the instructions found here on a Ubuntu forum thread are very well written and easy to follow. See Debian Bug Report 613335.

Without the patched 2.6.32-5-686 kernel, the trackpad is detected as an ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel mouse. The synaptics driver loads and then unloads. The trackpad functions out of the box after a fashion, but its performance is not ideal.

Power Management

For buster Suspend works using the command "/usr/sbin/pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on". Hybernate hangs the system.

WiFi

Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g wireless network controller.

The free driver in buster works.

For wheezy use the firmware-b43-lpphy-installer package to install the (non-free) firmware.

Under squeeze use the wl driver which is non-free.

Modem

None.
