Status report

i installed Sid AMD64 using netinstall in parallel to ms(tm) vista (that came with the laptop)

  • (resized the ntfs partition with gparted before the install using SystemRescueCD livecd)

xorg's nv works fine BUT to get full 3D with latest KDE 4.1.96 i used [javascript:void(0);/*1232821278878*/ Nvidia's latest proprietary drivers] which works just fine !!! :)

to get the wireless i had to use [javascript:void(0);/*1232821473088*/ Broadcom's proprietary wl kernel module] (compiled from sources)

to make the sound work i changed the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and added this line at the end:

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig enable_msi=1 single_cmd=1  

i still have some Alsa (1.0.16 , 2.6.26-1-amd64) [javascript:void(0);/*1232822609013*/ issues] with sound: i can either use the Headset (headphone) or the internal (Front channel) but not both :(

HP Webcam (Feiya) seems to work out of the box with Flash Player 10 64bit beta and Ekiga 2 (after installing v4l2 : libpt2.4.2-plugin-v4l2)

some configuration files excerpts

xorgs xorg.conf (nvidia section):

'Section "Device"

  • Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" ?VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

?EndSection

and have this command issue on system startup too:

to enable some multimedia keys:

xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Meta_L"

xmodmap -e "keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume"

xmodmap -e "keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume"

xmodmap -e "keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute"

to be continued :) (really!)
