Installing Debian on A Toshiba Satellite A10-S503

When I installed Debian, I choose testing due to the hardware support, I Installed using the new Debian installer "Beta 4" at that time. Booting and installation went fine with no problems.

Below you'll find more details.

Hardware configuration:

Mobile Intel Celeron 2.2
256 MB RAM
30 GB HDD
External 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM

NIC:

modprobe e100

Modem:

install slmodem from: http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40
You'll have to install the kernel-source package corresponding to your running kernel.
I have kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686, so:

apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.7 cd /usr/src/ tar -jxvf kernel-source-2.6.7.tar.bz2 cd kernel-source-2.6.7 cp /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686 .config cat Makefile | sed -e 's/EXTRAVERSION =/EXTRAVERSION = -1-686/' > Makefile- && mv Makefile- Makefile ln -sf /lib/modules/2.6.7-1-686/build /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.7 make modules_prepare

Then install the slmodem driver:

tar -zxvf slmodem-x.x.x.tar.gz cd slmodem slmodem-x.x.x make make install cp scripts/debian/slmodemd /etc/init.d modprobe slamr update-rc.d slmodemd defaults /etc/init.d/slmodemd start ln -sf /dev/ttySL0 /dev/modem

3D works fine, However I loose the acceleration when I resume, You'll have to kill the X and restart it.

echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep

Using toshiba_acpi

modprobe toshiba_acpi echo "brightness: [0-7] > /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd echo "running:[0-1]" > /proc/acpi/toshiba/fan

Suspend/Resume:

Using acpi It works fine, However I have to stop the hotplug otherwise it won't resume. Something between the USB/Hotplug/Resume.
