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

I haven't tried Nouveau, but the proprietary NVidia drivers work great and provide VDPAU, and the device is capable of playing back bluray quality video.

To force 1080p hdmi output, add the following to your screen section.

  • Option "?TwinView" "0" Option "metamodes" "1920x1080 +0+0"

Audio

card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital]

  • Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]

  • Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

There are two sound cards on the device. The standard analog sound card will work out of the box with the standard Squeeze kernel. However, in order to get the HDMI sound to work I needed to do some upgrading. I needed to upgrade to the 2.6.37 version of the kernel, which isn't currently available in Squeeze but hopefully it will be backported soon.

You also need to edit some module files according to a XBMC how-to.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_set_up_HDMI_audio_on_nVidia_GeForce_G210,_GT220,_or_GT240

Basically, create a file called, /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and add the following line:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2

After doing that and upgrading both the kernel and the NVidia drivers, the sound worked great using a standard Pulseaudio setup.

Also be warned that you may experience a weird sound issue on certain flash videos if you use the 64 bit version of the plugin. It basically sounds like a sample rate problem, but it isn't. To find out more about it, and learn how to fix it. Go Here.

Power Management

I've tested suspend and hibernation and it works through standard methods. However, I have not been able to get the wake-on-usb feature to work. I may return to this when I decide how I want the power management to work on this machine, right now I have it on all the time.

WiFi

Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

Works out of the box with standard kernel.
