Debian on NX7400
Today I've created a page called 'Debian on NX7400'. Here I will try to create a small document with info on how Debian is performing on this laptop. As of now the following works nicely:
- Video card (Intel 945GM)
- DVD/CD writer
- Wireless Card (Intel 3945ABG Needed to download the driver from ipw3945.sf.net
- Soundcard (after upgrading from the current 2.6.16 etch kernel to a custom 2.6.17.10 kernel)
- USB stuff...
- The duo processor (after installing the -smp kernel)
Well most likely I forgot stuff..... Take a look here.

Hi,
I just got an nx7400 also. I was wondering what you did to get the sound card to work. I’m having no luck with it. Also, what xwindows driver are you using? I’m having trouble getting it to run with anything but vesa.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
To get the soundcard working I first upgraded (manualy compiled) the kernel to 2.6.17.10. I had problems with 2.6.16.*. After that it just worked normaly.
I’m using Xorg 7.0 with the followin snippet for my video card:
Section “Device”
Identifier “Generic Video Card”
Driver “i810″
BusID “PCI:0:2:0″
EndSection
This did the trick with me.

Sander
