Introduction

I recently installed [http://debian.org Debian] on an IBM T23. This is not exactly spectacular, but I ran into some small problems, that I want to write down as a reference for others.

My problems were:

getting [http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ dri] to work
turning on hibernate with [http://suspend2.net suspend2]
using the internal modem

You will find (my) solutions for these problems below.

DRI

The installation of Debian (sid - April 02006) worked smoothly - the graphic card was detected and everything seemed to be fine.

Only the output of glxinfo was strange, as it reported direct rendering: No. But the xorg log file reported a successful activation of dri.

Then I tried the following:

export MESA_DEBUG=verbose
export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
glxinfo

It reported a missing savage_dri.so file. So I installed libgl1-mesa-dri (apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri), which contains /usr/lib/dri/savage_dri.so. Then it worked (as far as glxinfo tells you).
