Software

I’m using Debian GNU/Linux “squeeze” (testing).

Things that work out-of-the-box

• Audio (snd_hda_intel)
• USB (uhci_hcd, ehci_hcd)
• Card reader (sdhci)

Things that I haven’t tried

• Bluetooth
• Fingerprint reader (AuthenTec, Inc. AES1600) – should work according to this

Things that I have no idea what they are

• USB device 04d9:1606 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. (GPS?)

Graphics

Make sure to disable i915 modesetting (see Debian bug #570364) by appending i915.modeset=0 to your kernel command line. Also, have a look at my xorg.conf.

To have the grub menu displayed in the right resolution, modify /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_GFXMODE=800x480

Then run update-grub.

Network

The integrated Ethernet chip is supported by the r8169 driver.

When installing / upgrading to the latest Debian kernel package versions, you will get a warning about missing firmware. It’s safe to ignore that, because the R2H’s chip doesn’t need that firmware.

Also, there is an interesting bug where the chip’s EEPROM gets corrupted (you’ll notice that the card can’t seem to send/receive any data and that ifconfig shows a completely wrong MAC address). To fix that, run

ifconfig ethX hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is your original MAC address (you should be able to find the address in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules).

Touch screen

Works fine. To calibrate the screen, use this program or just try the values from my xorg.conf

Web Cam

The integrated Syntek 1.3MPixel web cam might work but so far I’ve been unable to use it with any of the available open source apps. Skype sort-of works, though.

WLAN

The R2H uses an Asus A9T 802.11bg wifi chip, supported by the zd1211rw driver (make sure to install the zd1211-firmware package). Since I’m using the R2H for adhoc networking, I had to set the rate control algorithm to amrr in order to prevent frequent kernel crashes (in /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf):

options mac80211 ieee80211_default_rc_algo=amrr

Configuration files
