There are two websites that have tonnes of user written articles on
getting linux running on laptop's:
http://tuxmobil.org/
http://www.linux-laptop.net/
Maybe on of those sites has an article that covers a Debian setup on
your specific model.
Otherwise, we need more information. Can you send us output from lspci
or dmesg? Specific details about your hardware and setup are needed
before any recomendations can be made.
