Alright I finally got Debian installed on the Amilo Pro 2030 laptop. There were a few problems that I managed to solve, like an invisible mouse pointer/cursor and the wireless. So I’d like to share the solutions here:
- Invisible pointer:
edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
add
Section “Device”
Identifier “Configured Video Device”
Option “HWCursor” “off”
Option “SWCursor” “on”
EndSection
- Wireless(with internet access available, e.g. ethernet):
Add the contrib repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list
e.g. deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib
apt-get update
apt-get install b43-fwcutter
Download and setup the firmware when prompted.
Voila. Now get something to manage your connections according to your windows manager, I use wicd with LXDE.
