	I'm still having issues with this. Suspend2Ram works out of the box with -f, but only once or twice before it either doesn't come up, or lots of stuff doesn't work when it does. Alsa has to be force-reloaded. I fixed my alsa init script and my /etc/powersave/sleep file to work together on this, but I still need to test it a little more rigourously.

These are some notes I have about getting Debian GNU/linux working with my Averatec 2300 series notebook.

== Installer ==

* Debian testing (Etch) netinst CD for amd64 (official snapshot). Can be found [http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ here], I think.

== Hardware ==

=== Kernel ===

* Any (recent?) amd64-k8-smp flavour kernel should work great.

=== Graphics ===

* NVidia GeForce Go 6100
* The latest stable release from NVidia (8776) didn't work right, but the latest beta (9626) seems to work great
* See xorg.conf file

=== Sound ===

* Realtek ALC262 chip
* kernel driver: snd_hda_intel

=== Input devices ===

Trackpad
* Trackpad: synaptics driver
* See xorg.conf file
Wacom
* My Wacom Graphire finally worked after a lot of poking. There was an issue with different versions of xorg's drivers (including the wacom one), due to an issue in debian testing. I had to change to a new mirror to get the latest version of Etch and then update.
* See the [http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ Linx Wacom Project] for more details
* See my xorg.conf file
Keyboard
* I made myself an international Latin + international Cyrillic keyboard. See my .xmodmap file.
