Miscellaneous notes:

Kernel

  • Debian 2.6.15-1-686 with yaird version 0.0.12-3 works finally fine.
  • When you install such kernel, you could face problems running yaird as yaird requires to be run from a 2.6 kernel and Debian 2.6.8 fails booting on this sata hardware.
    Try with Debian 2.6.11
    You can also try creating the initrd from another machine with the exact same hardware because yaird uses the current hardware setup to construct the initrd image. If the root partition is different between the 2 laptops, change temporarely your /etc/fstab to mimic the one of the target laptop.
    • yaird -v -o /tmp/myinitrd linux-image-2.6.15-1-686
    • Check the log if the root partition detected by yaird seems ok
    • Move the initrd to the target computer and edit grub
  • Apparently there are less problems using initramfs-tools rather than yaird
  • cdrom
    • by default, ATAPI is disabled in the SATA driver :-(
    • echo "options libata atapi_enabled=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/libata
    • test: yaird -v -o /tmp/crap `uname -r`
      and look for the option atapi_enabled
    • dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
    • If you built your own kernel with libata not as module, you have to pass to the kernel the option libata.atapi_enabled=1
  • noise
    • If you have a high sharp pitched sound coming from the laptop, try booting the kernel with the idle=halt option
  • suspend-to-ram
    • this requires a patch, see below

Harddrive

  • Smart
    • Works from kernel 2.6.15:
    • smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda
    • Edit /etc/smartd.conf to reflect the -d ata option

X

  • use Xorg server, not XFree86!
  • To get a full-featured touchpad
    • apt-get install xfree86-driver-synaptics
    • to tune it if needed: synclient (man synaptics), synclient CircularScrolling=1 is quite cool :-)
    • check the new gsynaptics X client for on-demand tuning
  • Use this file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or run by yourself dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Wireless

  • Go to http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ and download the latest firmware.
  • Unpack and move the ipw-* files to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.
  • With 2.6 kernels, this is not uncommon to end up with a inverted order of the interfaces, use ifrename to definitively get rid of these problems
    • echo "install ipw2200 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw2200; ifrename" >> /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200
    • led on/off doesn't work that well
  • The card is working well with WPA, cf HostApUsage

Sound

Works out-of-the-box.
For more tuning, cf http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=intel8x0 and DebianAlsa

Saving battery and other tweaks for laptop

  • cf DebianLaptop
  • If your LID doesn't turn back on when you open it (with acpi enabled), I urge you to install vbetool and the backlight_install.sh script from DebianLaptop (select "vbepost" when prompted)
  • Hotkeys are working with the hotkey-setup package, if ou want the exact codes, cf http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Latitude_D610#Special_Keys

Suspend-to-ram

Finally!
This works great after having ported the following patch to the 2.6.15-7 of Debian.
I ported the patch and used the same .config as the 2.6.15-1-686 package to compile the kernel.

Here is my version, for linux-source-2.6.15 version 2.6.15-7
