Debian Linux 3.1 beta
on Satellite 1110
I successfully managed to get Debian Linux 3.1 beta
to run on that puter. The
only problem was to get a running installation procedure
- Mandrake 9.0
failed, but I grabbed the Debian Installer-ISO from
http://people.debian.org/~sjogren/d-i/local-di-sarge.iso,
set up a basic
Debian Linux and then installed the lot from the
unofficial Beta-ISOs from
ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CD-IMAGES/debian-unofficial/sarge/
Right now the box is running a 2.4.19 kernel with
added ACPI-support (patched
manually; still does not work fully), uses devfs and
autofs (properly
configured with the default debian configs) and runs
KDE 3.1rc5 (line for
/etc/apt/sources.list: "deb"http://wh9.tu-dresden.de/kde3/karolina/)
at
1024x768 with 24bpp.
Problems: the internal modem (AC97 - soundchip-integrated;
see infos at
http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/aboutmodem.htmdoes
not work. I use
a PCMCIA modem which works good for me.
Here's my XF86Config-4. Pls note that I didn't use
debconf for the
configuration of xserver-xfree86, because it doesn't
allow more than one
pointer device (and I don't like my touchpad ;-):
