[Mailinglist] Install Debian GNU/Linux Etch in ASUS M2N-MX SE

[Sreenadh H]

Installing Debian GNU/Linux in a computer with the following configuration.

AMD Athlon X2 4000+
ASUS M2N-MX SE (2 SATA, 1 PATA, 8 USB, 2 PCI, 1 PCIe)
1GB DDR2 667 RAM
160 GB SEAGATE SATA HDD
17" Wide Samsung

After the installation of Debian GNU/Linux I installed NVIDIA graphics
driver for Linux. For installing the driver you need to install kernel
headers.

apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Then login in one of the virtual terminals. Stop xserver.

/etc/init.d/gdm stop

Next install NVIDIA driver.

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run

After that install the latest ALSA driver for getting the audio work.
Download the driver from alsa-project.org.
Alsa driver 1.0.16<ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2>

extract the files to a directory. change to that directory (Eg: cd
/home/sreenadh/MyDownloads/alsa-driver-1.0.16)

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

The add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (nano
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base)

options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig

Now its ready to start the xserver. /etc/init.d/gdm start.

Have a nice day.

Regards
