Minor problem to install Debian through network, because it uses Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E (Please refer my other thread)

Other than that installation is smooth. Wireless works (madwifi), built-in camera works with uvc.

So far, X works except for glx, I am working on that.

+++++++++++++++++ added on 4/Nov/2008
The reason glx fails is that
Code:
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 1.9.0 i915 (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_Dispatch)
libGL error: unable to load driver: i915_dri.so
There are several threads floating around threads floating around.
So far, I have not found solution yet.

The solution posted in the link above (remove fglrx) works. It works on local screen. I was using remote display and I guess I am hitting this problem.

I forgot to mention, a kernel parameter "irqpoll" is necessary on startup.

Only thing I've not tested is the Webcam, as webcams have never interested me. Everything but Wireless worked out of the box. Wireless worked after installing the backports from the install ISO. Desktop effects, etc, all work fine. DE is a bit interesting on an 8.9in screen :)

Kernel (uname -r): 3.2.23
Distribution: Debian testing


Memory card slot stopped working. (I have not used it for a while)

Workaround is:
Code:
sudo su -l
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
