Screen
If the screen turns blank during boot (
Debian
bug #712594
), disable
KMS
by booting with kernel parameter
radeon.modeset=0
. To disable
KMS
permanently, edit the file
/etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
and replace the line
options radeon modeset=1
with
options radeon modeset=0
.
To enable high resolution (1400×1050, 16bit colors), boot with kernel parameter
vga=837
. To enable high resolution permanently, edit the file
/etc/default/grub
and replace the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet vga=837"
.
Suspend / Resume
With a
ATI Radeon Mobility X1400
graphics card, using
s2ram
without options results in graphical corruption. To prevent corruption, switch to a text terminal (
chvt 1
) and invoke
s2ram
with the
-m
option to set
VBE
mode after resume (
s2ram -a3 -f -m
).
Fan
If the laptop runs too hot, load the
thinkpad_acpi
module with fan control enabled (
modprobe thinkpad_acpi 'fan_control=1'
), then disable the fan speed limit (
echo level disengaged | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
). To enable fan control permanently, create a file
/etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad-acpi.conf
containing the line
options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
.
