}

ctl.!default {

Debian Lenny - simple fix for Trident video card

My note for my old laptop which has Trident Cyberblade video card.

Reference:

By default Debian Lenny and Ubuntus (even the latest 9.04 version) can only show 800x600 as the maximum resolution while the correct resolution should be 1024 x 768

To overcome the problem usually I copied the xorg.conf file from any other distros (mostly Mepis and Sidux).

Today I found the above references, and it turns out that the solution is really simple, just add 2 lines in the "Monitor" section of the default xorg.conf as follows:

HorizSync 28-96
VertRefresh 50-75

(The above values I took from sidux's xorg.conf).

Now from the System > Preferences > Screen Resolution menu, I can choose the refresh rate (60, 70 or 75 Hz).

Below is the complete xorg.conf

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Xorg.conf for my desktop

For my own reference, this xorg.conf is taken from Linux Mint Elyssa on my desktop, works also for Mepis 8.0 Gnome:

#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.

Yamaha YMF-754 sound card problem on Debian Lenny, my easy workaround.

I have installed Debian Lenny on my old laptop and everything works nicely except one very important thing: the sound did not work.
The sound card is Yamaha Corporation YMF-754.

This is my workaround which works for me:

Go to sidux's online manual, click on the left menu link:
Graphic Cards, Monitors & miscellaneous Drivers > Hardware needing non-free drivers

Scroll down and find this line:

Yamaha YMF724/740/744/754 audio devices:
fetch the firmware from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware-from-kernel.git
and place it under /lib/firmware/yamaha/.



I do not know what is "fetch" means, so I just click the above link and then click "snapshot" to download the firmware (the file is compressed in tar.gz).



Extract the file to get these three files:
ds1_ctrl.fw
ds1_dsp.fw
ds1e_ctrl.fw



Create a directory for the firmware:
# mkdir /lib/firmware/yamaha/

Copy those three files to that directory.

Restart the computer, and the sound card now works.


Problem solved.
