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. |

Issues
Add acpi-cpufreq to /etc/modules for CPU frequency scaling
If you still use kernel 2.6.22, you'll need ndiswrapper with the windowsdrivers for the wireless card
You need the line options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-dig position_fix=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and you'll need to reload snd-hda-intel (modprobe -r snd-hda-intel; modprobe snd-hda-intel if you want to turn the normal speakers off when you plug in headphones. Alternatively the line options snd-hda-intel model=medion should also work (strangely enough I had to plug my headphones before i got any sound.)
