Installation Debian on Asus 1215t

Preparation

At first, download  Debian Wheezy. It is proper to Asus 1215t. Download path is netinst CD image in www.debian.org/CD/netinst/.

Then, it is necessary to make USB booting disk containing CD image. 

# dd if=debian-*-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdX     # where sdX is the device your USB media is using

But, in MS windows system, you need "UNetbootin"

Next, reboot and select booting disk.

Add the below in /etc/apt/source.list

deb http://eeepc.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://eeepc.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free

setup locale

# apt-get install locale

# dpkg-reconfigure locales

Installed charsets are in /etc/locale.gen

activated charset is in /etc/default/locale

# wget  http://eeepc.debian.net/debian/archive-key-eeepc.asc

# apt-key add archive-key-eeepc.asc

# apt-get install eeepc-acpi-scripts

It is necessary that souces.list contains Wheezy's repositories with eeepc-acpi-scripts package.

Despite of installing eeepc-acpi-scripts, it can't be invoked. It is because of eeepc-laptop deamon's missoperation; it seems that eeepc-acpi-scripts uses eeepc-laptop deamon's service.  If inserts boot option with "acpi_osi=Linux", it can be solved. but in my case, kernel(2.6.32-5), this solution is useless.

So, I found another solution. It is eeepc_wmi of acpi4auss package under kernel 2.6.35 or later. eeepc_wmi has the same functionality with eeepc-acpi-script. It can be installed in synaptic package manager. but it is no response to my action.

Anyway, install eeepc_wmi in synatic package manager.

eeepc_wmi or acpi4asus

Debian source.list generator helps you make source.list on yours.

# apt-get install acpi-support

Install desktop environment.

# apt-get install xorg gdm3 gnome

Install wireless driver according to the below link.

http://wiki.debian.org/brcm80211l

Install scim and scim-hangul to input korean character.

# apt-get install scim scim-hangul

Remap keymaps with Cap Locks into Ctrl

Install sound driver throughout module compiling.

# apt-get install module-assistant

# m-a update

# m-a prepare

# m-a a-i alsa.....

or

# apt-get install alsa-base

Edit configuration

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
.....
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5 enable_msi=1
....

# reboot

# apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

# alsamixer 

Install cpu clock utility to manage power comsumption.

# apt-get install cpufrequtils sysfsutils

Verify your CPU model name and let's install it's deamon.

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"

In my case, it is powernow_k8.

# modprobe powernow_k8

You can see current CPU clock property.

# cpufreq-info

It is neccessary to make properly. In here, it is "ondemand".

# cpufreq-set -g ondemand

At every boot, this configuration is permanently operated by editing "/etc/sysfs.conf".

Install fglrx driver to use compiz adding gnome; it need to add non-free debian repository into source.list.

for AMD64

# apt-get install libva1 libva-x11-1 libva-tpi1 libva-glx1 libva-dev xvba-va-driver fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-control fglrx-driver fglrx-glx fglrx-glx-ia32 fglrx-modules-dkms

for i386

# apt-get install libva1 libva-x11-1 libva-tpi1 libva-glx1 libva-dev xvba-va-driver fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-control fglrx-driver fglrx-glx fglrx-modules-dkms

and configure it.

# aticonfig --initial

for dual monitor

# aticonfig --initial=daul-head --screen-layout=right -v

Then, you can find Xorg.conf file under working directory. It may to copy Xorg.conf to /etc/X11/.

For USB disk auto mount, mark the line of /dev/sdb1 at /etc/fstab. It is created by Debian installation via USB boot disk.

...

# /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

...

finally, reboot.
