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.

Configuration

Display

Works out of the box.

The Fn keys for adjusting screen brightness were tested successfully with MATE environment (and probably default environment too), but needed a workaround so they work on my setup (minimal environment with i3).

Here is what I did :

1) Install xbacklight

$ sudo apt install xbacklight

2) Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, and provide the Device section in a conf file.

$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

$ cat << EOF > /tmp/x11video.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics" 
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
EndSection
EOF

$ sudo cp /tmp/x11video.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-video.conf

3) Add calls to xbacklight in your environment shortcuts, following is for i3:

bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec --no-startup-id xbacklight -inc 10
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec --no-startup-id xbacklight -dec 10
bindsym Shift+XF86MonBrightnessUp exec --no-startup-id xbacklight -inc 1
bindsym Shift+XF86MonBrightnessDown exec --no-startup-id xbacklight -dec 1

The backlight option in Xorg.conf is here to prevent the "No outputs have backlight property" error.

Audio

Works out of the box.

Mixers are a little messy in alsamixer.

Mouse

Fabulous.

Power Management

It sleeps well when you close the lid.

WiFi

Requires a proprietary firmware to make it work. See brcm80211

In short, add the non-free repositories, then:

$ sudo apt install firmware-brcm80211

Ethernet

Works out of the box.

Might issue some warnings when updating initramfs, which can be ignored since they target other hardware (ref):

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso5.bin for module tg3
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin for module tg3
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3.bin for module tg3
