''[[https://systemausfall.org/~phil/|more Linux, more notebooks]]'' <<TableOfContents(2)>> This document describes briefly how to install [[http://debian.org|Debian GNU/Linux]] on a [[http://medion.de|Medion]] MD9703 notebook which realy is a [[http://www.fic.com.tw/|FIC]] A360. According to [[http://www.nickles.de/c/a/forum2-537757732.htm|this page]] the MD9703 is similar to the Gericom 1st Supersonic M6T. = features = * processor: Intel Pentium III 1200MHz * chipset: * VIA Apollo MVP3/Pro133x * Cardbus: O2 Micro OZ6933/711E1 * USB: VT82xxxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 * Firewire: Agere Systems FW323 * video card: ATI Radeon Mobility M6 * display: 14,1" TFT * memory: 256 MB * hard drive: Hitachi DK23CA-30 30 GB * optical storage device: NEC CB-2100A Slim Line DVD/CDRW * floppy disk drive * sound card: VIA V!T82C686 AC97 * ethernet device: Realtek RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ * modem: Ambient Tec. Inc HAM 56k modem - whith [[http://64.126.95.102:8080/gromitkc/intel/intel_563x_ham.html|Intel MD563X-HaM chipset]] * pointing device: Synaptics Touchpad SynPS/2 = compatibility = It's easier to specify all things that don't work. Here you go. Suspend-to-RAM:: Suspend to RAM isn't available ({{{cat /sys/power/state}}} doesn't lists ''mem'') - I think it's a problem with [[http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php|DSDT]] Modem:: With the [[attachment:ModemData.txt|output]] of [[http://linmodems.org|linmodems.org]] scanModem utility I figured out that the modem has an [[http://www.pcidatabase.com/vendor_details.php?id=1616|Intel MD563X-HaM chipset]]. Information about Linux driver can be found [[http://64.126.95.102:8080/gromitkc/intel/intel_563x_ham.html|here]]. Unfortunately it doesn't work with 2.6.x kernel versions. = installation = The installation of Debian Etch (with [[http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/|Debian Installer]] snapshot 06/29/06) worked smoothly. You only have to download a CD image and burn it. Start your notebook, boot from CD by pressing ''Esc'' and follow the installers instructions.<<BR>> Some important points and how I took my choice: * ''Partition disks''{{{ Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) --------------------------------------------------------------------- hda1 Boot Primary Linux ext3 [/] 6999,72 hda5 Logical Linux Swap / Solaris 764,96 hda6 Logical Linux ext3 [/home] 32292,45 }}} * ''Debian software selection'':{{{ [*] Desktop environment . . . [*] Laptop [*] Standard system }}} * Install the Grub boot loader to the master boot record That's it. Reboot and login. = configuration = == x.org == My x-server runs with standard configuration. [[attachment:xorg.conf|This]] is my xorg.conf. With [[http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/xserver-xorg-video-ati|xserver-xorg-video-ati (1:6.5.8.0-1)]] and hardware acceleration enabled I have several problems: * Running at depth 24 freezes the machine ([[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=366114|bug report]]) - a solution is to change the depth to 16 == touchpad == The touchpad runs out of the box. If you want to configure it to your needs just install a tool like [[http://packages.debian.org/testing/utils/gsynaptics|gsynaptics]]. == special keys == There are three special keys above the keyboard. I used Gnome's keyboard shortcuts utility to configure them. == misc == * Somethimes the machine slows down with no reason. {{{top}}} shows me a load average > 3. I could remember the same problem with Windoze. * I think I found the problem: After {{{cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling}}} I realized that the CPU sometimes runs in T15-state. That means 93% of CPU performance are lost because of throttling. * Time to find the cause... * It seems that this happens after the CPU gets realy hot. * Some people talked about this problem in a [[http://staschke.de/ap/forum/index.php?mode=viewthread&forum_id=7&thread=1|German discussion board]] ---- = hints = * [[/harddrive|How to replace the hard drive]] * [[/optical|How to replace the DVD-Rom]] * [[http://www1.medion.de/downloads/download.pl?id=293&type=anleitungen&filename=bdafid3010de.pdf&lang=de|German Manual]] - deutsches !BenutzerInnenhandbuch * [[http://www1.medion.de/downloads/download.pl?id=1745&type=treiber&filename=biofid3010.exe&lang=de|latest Bios update]] - version 1.0ma/mb * [[http://www.kreissl.info/diggs/linuxMD9703.php?PHPSESSID=010fc4766ae1f4a342721373eee04dcb|Problems with kernel 2.4 and the network card]] |
