Hi, I've recently bought a Toshiba laptop and quickly format it to install debian/etch with the netinstall image. The install worked quite ok with this install command : install libata.atapi_enabled=1 otherwise the cd/dvd player isn't recognise by the installer.
The network is ok through eth0. No Wifi yet (I think i need the ipw3945 modules [0]) Video card Radeon Mobility / Xorg / ATI Drivers debian packaged Sound works. Well that was piece of information to share with future users tempting to free Tosh laptop. Here is my problem now. I still have difficulties to manage power and cpu frequency scaling. I've tried cpufreq and cpudyn, both failed. The cpu is a Centrino Duo Kernels i've tried are 2.16-2-686-smp and even 2.17.13 i've compiled myself. Should I load modules acpi-cpufreq and speedstep-centrino ? If so what does mean : FATAL: Error inserting module_name (/lib/.../2.6.16-2-smp/kernel/...): no such device Are these modules not up to date for my hardware ? Could you tell me where can I look for to test the hibernation sleep state ? ACPI looks like it run well at start up, but then I can't figure out how to hibernate the laptop. I would appreciate useful links like HOW-TO, to learn about acpi and all that stuff. I really need to _understand_ how to make this laptop working well with Debian. I've already browse the Web for 2 days trough linux-laptop and tuxmobile and so on. I've found no useful information for me to work it out.
