Hi Steffen,
I did find your address at debian-laptops.
But I'm a bit paraoia for showing my emals address on a newsgroup.
I did send the following message to debian-laptops:
Hi Steffen,
Thanks for your exploration.
I bought the same wonderfull notebook and had the following experience:
I'm using the most recent version of DEBIAN Sarge.
I did not have the same problems with the keyboard. As far I can see
from the Xserver log, the ATI module of the Xserver has been loaded.
I can reproduce the NumPad keys.
The only thing, which I do not know how to add the modeline for the
1200x800 LCD screen. (I also do not know the correct horizontal en
vertical refresh rates for this card)
Could you show me your example?
Peter
I also have another not linux related question: I think that the
laptop keyboard gets quite warm, although it is a Centrino
motherboard. I did measure more than 30 degrees Celsius (using a
thermometer of my fridgenairy). Do you have the same experience?
Peter
Hi Peter,
meanwhile I solved the problem with my keyboard. An application from Sid
which I had installed caused the keyboard problems. After a fresh
reinstall, I have no more problems. I attached a version of my
XF86Config-4 from where you can get the modelines.
The temperature of my notebook is also high. It could be 30 degree
Celsius. I can't measure it. The keyboard itself is not so hot.
At my second install I used only kernel-2.6.10-686, xfree86-server, and
bash3 from Sid. The rest is from Sarge.
You will get a lot of useful information by googling. From speceial
value is the web site www.linux-laptop.net/.
Have a lot of fun with Debian GNU/Linux on your Medion 95400 notebook.
