NVIDIA
Free drivers (nv)
- Installed during xserver installation
Proprietary drivers (nvidia)
- Only for 3D acceleration and other advanced features, if not use free driver, you'll feel better.
Installation
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-2.6.18-4-686 nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig
Configuration
Automatic
nvidia-xconfig
Manually
Update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Module" [..] #Load "dri" [..] EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA" Driver "nvidia" Option "NoLogo" Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "NvAGP" "1" EndSection Section "Screen" [..] Device "NVIDIA" [..] EndSection
Wireless interface
apt-get install firmware-ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945-modules-`uname -r`
- Optional
apt-get install network-manager
network-manager-gnome requires users to be in the group 'netdev' for it to work. If users aren't in the group 'netdev' then it won't automatically appear, and work, in the Notification Area.
If you're looking for a manual installation procedure see the ipw3945 driver manual installation for Debian Etch
WebCam - Only work with v4l2

Notes:
- Only v4l2 is supported

Sound card
If you have conflict with the webcam USB microphone you can use this configuration in /etc/modprobe.d/sound to set the correct device order asignation.
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=1
dvd/cdrom
Error trying to open /dev/sg0 exclusively (Permission denied)... retrying in 1 second. cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/sg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
do:
chgrp cdrom /dev/sg0
Modem (Not tested)
Driver
These are NOT free, however - an uncrippled version will set you back USD 19.99, the free ones only support 14k4 :-(
dpkg -i hsfmodem_{version}_{arch}.deb if necessary, run "hsfconfig" to complete the installation, enter license information, or to change your modem's configuration.

to validate
- After the installation of the NVIDIA driver, Suspend to RAM worked well after setting SUSPEND2RAM_FORCE="yes" in '/etc/powersave/sleep'.
