I've installed the latest LMDE release on my Alienware M18x and noticed some issues.
Firstly - the USB 3.0. The m18x has two USB controllers, one is USB 2.0 the other is USB 3.0.
The 2.0 controller works just fine out of the box while the 3.0 controller does not work - nothing happens with i stick a USB drive in.
Here's what i see :
Code: Select all
lspci -k
...
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05)
22:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 3.0 Host Controller (rev 04)
Subsystem: Dell Device 048f
...
Any idea how to diagnose/fix the problem ?
(I found this post saying i need to build the kernel (!) http://okomestudio.net/biboroku/?p=1360 but i don't really want to go there)
Second issue is with the card reader which is being shown as follows :
Code: Select all
lspci -k

14:00.1 SD Host controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5209 (rev 01)

Again, any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
