Let's Sign the petition today.
Thoses Quick Installation notes shows howto install Debian 4.0 Etch on a Toshiba Tecra A8 (type PTA83E-04V02GFR) : What are the packages needed, Quick-configuration hints (links to specific HowTos are provided).

Disable CPU's Multi-core in BIOS (press and hold "Esc", then press F1) I made this test with an early version of the Debian-Installer. This setting might not be required with the final Etch Installer. Actually, i could re-enable multi-core afeter upgrading to the latest kernel.
As usual, you have back'd up your data and Toshiba Tools (you never know).
During the installation, you will prompted for the network interface to use. The one labelled "..Gigabit.." is the LAN one. The other one is the firewire interface.
ACPI is enabled by default on Etch's 2.6 kernel. You should load the kernel module toshiba_acpi module that enables some Toshiba specific features (http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver).
in /etc/modules #Add this line, to enable some toshiba features toshiba_acpi
You can find a preview of /proc/acpi/toshiba/*
If you want to hibernate ("suspend to disk"), debian laptop installation wil include the packages hibernation and uswsusp which you have to configure (at least) with:
/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 #ENABLE="false" # lets enable and choose "ondemand" governor ENABLE="true" GOVERNOR="ondemand" MAX_SPEED=0 MIN_SPEED=0
then run:
invoke-rc.d cpufrequtils restart
As of Etch-RC1, 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. Tecra A8 comes in two flavour : Built-in Intel chipset, or a more powerful ATI (not covered by this howto).
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"
Installing the 3D library is fairly quick..
packages: xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-glu mesa-utils libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx
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 IT seems proplerly configured, however, i can't head any sound ;(
#/etc/modprobe.d/sound alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0

Install required stuffs:
package: fnfx-client + hotkey-setup
# /etc/modules #Toshiba laptop SMM driver (see /proc/acpi/toshiba ) toshiba
Some hotkeys are working (Fn-F6 to switch external screen ; Fn-XX to hibernate ; Fn-XX Fn-YY to increase/decrease brightness...
Device is AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint ( dmi info ; input 00002:0008) 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"
# The touchpad is "slow"... adding lines below in the # "Section 'InputDevice'" / Driver "synaptics" should help (not tested) # [ according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/28648 ] Option "MinSpeed" "0.2" Option "MaxSpeed" "1.2" Option "AccelFactor" "0.05" #Enable usage of synclient (and tpconfig and gsynaptics..) # Anton Weigl suggest you use ksynaptics/gsynaptics to enable tapping. Option "SHMConfig" "true" EndSection
(Not configured, not tested... it's probably an sl-modem compatible. see packages sl-modem* )
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)
Toshiba Tecra 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 8086:27c4)
Hibernation works ! After a few tests, this SATA hard disk does not seems to be affected by any suspend/hibernation problem
The drive has "Hard Disk Active Protection System" (hdaps). Not tested!
The SD card reader / SD Host on the left side ( pci ) ... working fine !
The Firewire is a "Texas Instruments PCIxx12 OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394" ( pci ) (not tested, but spb2 module is loaded by /etc/modules and the network interface is available)
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

driver: centrino
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.66 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.66 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 1.66 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1000 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
