Installation was very easy and provided good behaviour "out of the box" (1280x800 screen, thouchpad...). However, at the time i made the tests (March '07) :
As usual, you have back'd up your data (you never know). Also make sure you have created the reinstallation CDs to restore the original Operating system.
Don't install the boot loader on /dev/sda. In order to preserve HP's boot loader (press "F11" to restore system at boot time)... Unless you know how to restore it ;) (Since i didn't want to break that test system)
Peter Paul Jun 20, 2006 16:33:07 GMT on HP forum said :
..If I start linux and then reboot, the laptop is in a "bad state", as described by Siegfried earlier. Besides taking longer for the HP boot logo, the power state is broken in the "bad state", too. This means, that if I boot while the laptop is plugged into AC, /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/C1B7/state will show "on-line". But this doesn't change even if I unplug the AC adapter. Similarly, if the laptop runs on battery while booting, the battery charging state won't change later on, even if I let the laptop run on battery for a long time or if I plug in the AC adapter. All this happens only if the laptop is in the "bad state".
It has also been noted (by Dennis K. in the same thread) that a cpufrequtils won't work on a nx7400 in bad state.
During the installation, you will prompted for the network interface to use. The one labelled "..Broadcom.." is the LAN one. The other one is the firewire interface.
ACPI is enabled by default on Etch's 2.6 kernel.
#in /etc/hibernate/common.conf #let's unload "psmouse" before suspend/hibernate to avoid bad-state on resume. UnloadModules psmouse #Also make sure the module is reload on resume LoadModule auto
And
#in /etc/init.d/halt
if [ "$NETDOWN" = "no" ]; then
netdown=""
fi
# ADD THIS line to fix bad-state on next reboot
/sbin/modprobe -r psmouse
log_action_msg "Will now halt"
halt -d -f $netdown $poweroff $hddown
#!The Serial-ATA "native" mode seems to cause troubles see Hard Disk section
Suspend "almost" works : The lcd's backlight isn't turned on resume automatically. Therefore, you have to usethe "Increase brightness" button to switch-on the backlight.
# in /etc/hibernate/ususpend-ram.conf # add this line to get s2ram in "forced" mode USuspendRamForce yes #REMEMBER that you have to increase brightness to switch-on backlight
for information, here is the output of my "s2ram -n"
Machine is unknown.
This machine can be identified by:
sys_vendor = "Hewlett-Packard"
sys_product = "HP Compaq nx7400 (RH401ET#ABF)"
sys_version = "F.08"
bios_version = "68YGU Ver. F.08"
See http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram for details.
If you report a problem, please include the complete output above.
If you want to hibernate ("suspend to disk"), debian laptop installation will include the packages hibernation and uswsusp which you have to configure (at least) with:
dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp
because "resume device" isn't configured properly during installation (inaproprately use long device name).
/etc/uswsusp.conf # Replace long path name [adjust partitition name !] # resume device = /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 # with short path name resume device = /dev/sda3
Processor is an : "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz" cpuinfo ; dmi info ; cpufreq-info
Latest 2.6 kernel only comes in SMP flavour (because there's not more extra cost when running on non-SMP computer). Look my uname
The required package (cpufrequtils) is installed by default if you selected "Laptop" package-set during installation
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored. loop sbp2 #Add Five lines to prepare cpu scaling speedstep-centrino cpufreq_stats cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_powersave
# Which governor to use. Must be one of the governors listed in: # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors # # and which limits to set. Both MIN_SPEED and MAX_SPEED must be values # listed in: # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies # a value of 0 for any of the two variables will disabling the use of # that limit variable. # # WARNING: the correct kernel module must already be loaded or compiled in. # # Set ENABLE to "true" to let the script run at boot time. # # eg: ENABLE="true" # GOVERNOR="ondemand" # MAX_SPEED=1000 # MIN_SPEED=500 #ORIG was: ENABLE="false" ENABLE="true" GOVERNOR="ondemand" MAX_SPEED=0 MIN_SPEED=0
then run:
invoke-rc.d cpufrequtils restart
As of Etch-RC2, the packages hal-device-manager and gnome-applets are automaticaly installed. You can install an applet in gnome panel : right-click on a gnome-Panel, "Add to panel" and choose "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor".
Device is : "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM" 8086:27a2. HP nx7240 (might) comes in different flavours. This one has a Built-in Intel chipset.
X-window was properly configured automaticaly (Driver:i810). You can find my xorg.conf.
# This is almost the original file. I simply added the "1024x768" # (usefull if you need to make a presentation with an LCD projector.) Modes "1280x800" "1024x768"
More testing required
Installing the 3D library is fairly quick..
packages: mesa-utils xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-glu
Test using glxinfo or glxhead
X'RandR (Resize and Rotate) is working. (see gnome's Desktop Menu/Preference/Screen Resolution) Optionaly, gnome has one-click applet to R&R :
package: gnome-randr-applet | kcontrol
Device is a : "High Definition Audio Controller : Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family)" PCI 8086:27D8 Which uses Intel's "high definition audio" module : snd-hda-intel

The "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" is very comfortable. ( input 00002:0007) If you want to tweak default configuration/behaviour, use touchpad configuration tool:
package: (optional: gsynaptics | tpconfig )
Under X11, Touchpad was automaticaly and properly configured :
/etc/X11/org.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
(Not configured, not tested...)
device "Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection" (PCI 8086:4222) You will need to install the non-free firmware
in /etc/apt/sources.list #Add "non-free" and "contrib" for ipw3945 deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
then run the following commands
apt-get install firmware-ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945 ;
You might need to run
invoke-rc.d ipw3945d restart ;
If you want to handle your Wifi (or any network device) using NetworkManager, remove (or comment) all reference to that interface in /etc/network/interface. You can then click NetworkManager's icon in the notification area to list/connect to wireless networks.
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
You probably want to use the safer WPA encryption
in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_suplicant.conf
#Sample configuration using WPA(or WPA2) personal (=Pre-shared key)
network={
ssid="MyAccesspoint"
scan_ssid=0
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="123456789ABCDEF123456789ABCDEF"
}
Alternatively, you can use the deprecated WEP
in /etc/network/interfaces #configure eth1 (ipw3945) with WEP. allow-wireless eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp wireless-essid XXXX wireless-key YYYYY #see man wireless(7)
HP nx7400 comes with a single PC Cards slot : PCMCIA/CardBus
(pcmcia card are 16-bit kind of "pc-card"...)
(Cardbus are 32-bit kind of "pc-card" cardctl ; dmi ; pci .) package: pcmciautils
Device is FUJITSU MHV2080BH PL ( hdparm ; on Serial ATA PCI adapter 8086:27c5)
At the time of writing (kernel 2.6.18-4) :
The Firewire / IEEE-1384 Host controller ( pci ) (not tested, but spb2 module is loaded by /etc/modules and the network interface is available)
Bluetooth (sometime refered as 802.???) provides wireless communication (Personal Area Networking) that can be used to synchronize mobile devices your your PIM, exchange files, vCard...
package: bluetooth bluez-utils bluez-gnome
(uses module hci_usb)
#my /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf looks like this :
options {
autoinit yes;
security auto;
pairing multi;
passkey "1234";
}
device {
name "%h-%d";
class 0x3e0100;
iscan enable; pscan enable;
lm accept;
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}
bluez-gnome provides pass-key prompt, configuration GUI and a nice icon in the task tray (you'll need to close/open a gnome session to start it, or invoke `bluetooth-applet`)
If you want to setup a virtual serial port (rfcomm) over a bluetooth connection, have a look at SonyEricsson_M600i_on_Linux_Debian_Etch.html
Obex can be used over both Infra-red and Bluetooth file transfers. Obexpushd has to be run from a terminal window. Received files will be saved in current directory.
package: obexpushd
Bluetooth: Make the bluetooth as "connectable" (if not already), then listen for incoming files.
hciconfig hci0 pscan ;cd /tmp ; obexpushd -d -B
Infrared :
cd /tmp ; obexpushd -d -I
Not Tested. If you want to enable Full (hardware) Virtualization support using Intel VT (cpu's vmx flag in /proc/cpuinfo) in Xen, you need to enable Virtualization in BIOS (TODO = Enable)
Check your boot log :
xm dmesg | grep VMX
If it works you get
(XEN) VMXON is done
If it doesn't work you get
(XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR
