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 adapter is a built in Intel GPU. Graphics worked fine on kernel 3.2, but the detected resolution didn't seem quite right - there was a tiny bit of panning left/right when I was using xfce. This was resolved by upgrading to kernel 3.16.
Audio
Sound is provided by the builtin Realtek ALC280 (analog audio) and built in Intel adapter for HDMI audio. Realtek audio was crackly/stuttering on kernel 3.2, which I was able to (almost) resolve by setting parameters to the hda intel ALSA kernel module by creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with the line: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 position_fix=1 model=auto
With this line, upgrading to kernel 3.16 (currently available in jessie/testing or wheezy-backports) appeared to completely resolve the audio stuttering issues.
Mouse
Synaptic touch pad two-finger scrolling and mouse left/right buttons work out of the box on kernel 3.2 and 3.16. I haven't been able to setup 'clicking' just by tapping on the touchpad yet.
Power Management
I had issues resuming after suspend on kernel 3.2 - the screen would remain blank and the system appeared to be unresponsive (the caps lock light would not turn on, for example). Upgrading to kernel 3.16 appeared to resolve this issue.
WiFi
(Instructions for 3.16 kernel)
Nonfree broadcom drivers are required for the broadcom wifi chipset.
Install broadcom-sta-dkms from non-free repo. After the install, run 'modprobe wl' as root, and you should be able to setup wifi using NetworkManager.
BlueTooth
(Instructions for Debian-8.1/3.16.0-4-amd64)
You need to
patch and re-compile btusb
- download and use non-free firmware
Use the script found in Updated Steps for Enabling BCM43142 Bluetooth on Debian 8 "Jessie" Stable. If you don't have access to a Windows machine, you can use the firmware linked to from http://www.gnebehay.com/blog/lenovo-flexpad-bluetooth-debian/.
