Hello everybody! I am enjoying working on Debian. I have already installed Debian on 2 my desktop computers. Everything working perfectly.
But experienced troubles on Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. I am trying to install Debian Linux (2.6.17 Kernel) on Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. Basic installation Debian stable (sarge, Kernel 2.4), give me working mouse and touch pad, graphics adapter (just 800x600 resolution). After upgrade Debian sources on testing (Etch), and Kernel 2.4 --> 2.6.17 I got not working USB mouse (Just working touch pad). cat /dev/psaux cat /dev/input/mice give me events only from touch pad. Mouse does not working at all. I solved trouble with graphics adapter installing 915resolution package. Now it is working fine (resolution 1280x800). Sound blaster does not working. I got working dual cpu GenuineIntel(R) CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz. It start work fine after I compile kernel with CONFIG_SMP=y Processor family M CONFIG_SCED_MC=y For me very important got working 1. USB mouse working. 2. Sound blaster. 3. Wireless. 4. Suspend mode. I will be appreciate any help. Alex Yakushev.
