thanks a lot for your answers, i managed to get the 7500 to work after
compiling a new kernel with the appropriate modules - it was indeed very

I think that is a great! idea. Maybe two packages though laptop-common
and laptopbrand-laptopseries. And "maybe" (just a thought) have say,
laptop-common install a set of packages common to all laptops and
laptopbrand-laptopseries install a set of packages specific for that
brand and series as
Good idea, but who will be its manager?

That is a very good question. I have very limited time. I can see me maintaining a few laptop models that I have access to but I do not think that I have the time and resources to manage the whole project. Any suggestions or volunteers?

Hello,
Riccardo Vestrini a écrit :
apt-get install laptopbrand-laptopserie
and then obtain in /usr/share/doc/laptopbrand-laptopserie all needed
I like the idea.
will someone be interested?
I unfortunately have no time to help the developpement but if I can
help by testing on my laptop or re-reading
Maybe modifyine popularit-contest so that you could select a
standardised laptop name in a list would yeald interesting information
for new users?
For instance : 90% of users who have the same laptop as you
have also installed pachage kernel-patch-foo ?

Hello,
I think that a Debian specific laptop repository is a great idea.
Nice idea. But like the others I think that it would be easier and
nearly equal useful to use linux-on-laptops or tuxmobile.
I agree that those are excellent resources. But I think it would be nice
to have a Debian specific
