Drivers for compaq v6148ea?
I'm trying to install debian in a compaq presario v6148ea. Compaq does not offer support for anything but windows
 Where could I find the drivers?By now I have the network card and the wireless working, but I have no sound, and i don't know to which extent the graphic card is being used to render what I see, I wouldn't like to put too much stress in the processor unnecessarily. Any tips on finding the drivers, installing them or knowing the drivers I may need (I don't know the current situation about the graphics) are welcome. Any URL or pointer about where should I search for drivers, tutorials, information, help or anything is also welcome. I am completely clueless on this one. Thank you very much. |

Useful information, but not for obtaining Linux drivers, because it doesn't give brand and model.
This is a very good Compaq, and with the ability to upgrade to Windows 7, as it describes, you can make it better. Many would just purchase the two year warranty extension and use it as a Windows Machine. However, if willing to spend some funds, any of the top Driver sites, will perform an automatic detection of what drivers are needed... for a price. |

I've been searching and asking and I think now the problem is solved, as root I run "alsa reload" and the sound now works, also I checked with glxinfo that the hardware graphics acceleration is enabled, and glxgears gives me 1000 FPS, 175 at full screen, which I suppose is all that I can get from my graphics card ??
With lspci I could get more information Code:
