Installation of Debian testing:
- Just start the installer from CD and install. I used the Lenny beta2 netinstall-CD. I did not experience any problems during installation. Everything was straightforward.
- Einfach die Installations-CD starten und installieren. Ich habe die Lenny beta2 Netzinstallations-CD benutzt und hatte keine Schwierigkeiten damit.
Working features for Debian testing
- Suspend-to-Disk: tested successfully
- Suspend-to-RAM: "Machine unknown" but seems to work - better use with care
- lid-close-button works
- touchpad with integrated scroll-area
- battery monitor works
- VGA-connector works
- I was able to set up wpasupplicant to encrypt the wireless network using WPA.
Funktionen mit Debian
- Ruhezustand "Suspend-to-Disk": erfolgreich getestet
- Ruhezustand "Suspend-to-RAM": Hardware wird nicht erkannt aber es funktioniert trotzdem solala - besser mit Vorsicht benutzen
- Deckelschalter funktioniert
- Touchpad mit integriertem Scrollbereich funktioniert
- Batterieüberwachung funktioniert
- VGA-Anschluss funktioniert
- Mir gelang es mein drahtloses Netzwerk mit WPA zu verschlüsseln.
Unresolved issues
Ungelöste Probleme:
- I stopped trying setup dimming the LCD backlight. This does not mean it is not avilable. I'm just sick of configuring hardware. If you have any idea where to start please tell me...
- Ich mag mich momentan nicht mehr mit dem Dimmen der LCD-Hintergrundbeleuchtung beschäftigen da ich kaum mehr Lust habe hardware zu Konfigurieren. Wer eine Idee hat wie das gehen soll kann mir ja schreiben...
Configuration Files
Install driver for wifi:
- install: firmware-iwlwifi and do modprobe iwl4965
- add iwl4965 to file /etc/modules (does not seem to be necessary but no damage)
Install utilities for CPU-frequency-scaling:
- install: cpufrequtils, libcpufreq0, sysfsutils, cpufreqd and do modprobe acpi-cpufreq
- add acpi-cpufreq to file /etc/modules (does not seem to be necessary but no damage)
- edit /etc/default/cpufreqd: insert module name (acpi-cpufreq)
- create file in /etc/default/ named "cpufrequtils"
- write (first line) ENABLE="true" and (second line) GOVERNOR="ondemand" into file cpufrequtils, save
- maybe edit /etc/cpufreqd.conf to your needs
- this is at least the way I did it, maybe you do better...
Konfiguration
Installation des Treiber für das drahtlose Netzwerk:
- installiere: firmware-iwlwifi und lade das Modul mit: modprobe iwl4965
- füge den Eintrag iwl4965 der Datei /etc/modules hinzu (scheint nicht nötig zu sein aber auch nicht zu schaden)
Installation der CPU-Frequenzeinstellung:
- installiere die Pakete: cpufrequtils, libcpufreq0, sysfsutils, cpufreqd und lade das Modul mit: modprobe acpi-cpufreq
- füge den Eintrag acpi-cpufreq der Datei /etc/modules hinzu (scheint nicht nötig zu sein aber auch nicht zu schaden)
- Füge in der Datei /etc/default/cpufreqd an vorgesehender Stelle den Namen des Moduls hinzu (acpi-cpufreq)
- erstelle eine Datei in /etc/default/ und nenne sie "cpufrequtils"
- schreibe in die Datei cpufrequtils in der ersten Zeile ENABLE="true" und in die zweite Zeile GOVERNOR="ondemand". Anstelle von "ondemand" kann auch conservative, userspace, powersave und performance stehen.
- in der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/cpufreqd.conf kann man allerlei Einstellungen zum Verhalten der CPU machen. Wer also die CPU-Frequenzen von Mondphasen abhängig machen mag kann das hier tun. ;)
- Das ist zumindest wie ich das gemacht habe. Wer weiss wie es besser geht darf mir gerne schreiben.

My personal impressions on the laptop in general:
The Nexoc Osiris S620II is my first notebook so I cannot compare it to others. I bought the pink version and like the pink glossy surface. It looks really nice. :) Everything seems to be manufactured in a robust way and I hope it will last for a long time.
Before I bought the notebook I searched for other users experience with linux on this device but was not able to find any. So my review is rather a "better than nothing" approach than a detailed hardwaretest performed by a geek. I'm not good at linux and computing in general. For me it was hard work to get everything configured and I'd like to share it with the cummunity.
Mein persönlicher Eindruck vom Laptop allgemein:
Das Nexoc Osiris S620II ist mein erstes notebook weshalb ich es nur schwer mit anderen vergleichen kann. Ich habe es in pink gekauft was ein wichtiges Kaufkriterium war. Ich finde mein Tussibook todschick. :) Es sieht ganz ordentlich verarbeitet aus, nichts klappert oder wirkt gebrechlich. Hoffentlich hält es lange Zeit.
Bevor ich mich für dieses notebook entschieden habe suchte ich nach Erfahrungen anderer Linuxnutzer mit dem Ding aber fand leider nichts. Nach viel müheseliger Recherche sah ich eine gewisse Chance daß es funtionieren könnte und habe es einfach mal versucht. Ich habe weder von Linux noch Computern allgemein viel Ahnung weshalb ich hier keinen besonders tollen Testbericht und noch weniger die optimale Konfiguration anbieten kann. Was ich hier zusammengetragen habe war für mich sehr viel Arbeit die ich jemand anderem gerne ersparen möchte.
