Asus VivoMini VC65

Wake-on-LAN

To enable Wake-on-LAN you must enter the BIOS setup (Pressing F2 or Canc at boot). Enter the Advanced, APM Configuration menu and disable the ErP. ErP (Energy-related_products) support determines whether to let the system consume less than 1W of power in S5 (shutdown) state. This feature is not compatible with Power On By WOL and other nice features like Restore AC Power Loss, etc.

Enabling W-o-L from BIOS

Installing Debian Linux

In short, starting from a plain Debian 8 Jessie, we need the following extra packages:

  • linux-image-4.6.0 (from jessie-backports)
  • linux-base_4.3 (from jessie-backports)
  • firmware-realtek (from jessie-backports)
  • firmware-misc-nonfree (from jessie-backports)
  • xserver-xorg-video-intel (from jessie-backports or pinning from Debian Stretch)
  • libgl1-mesa-dri (from jessie-backports)

Intel HD Graphics 510 GPU

We installed Debian 8 Jessie, but found that kernel linux-image-3.16.0 does not handle the Intel High Definition Graphics 510 GPU. At boot time no Intel framebuffer is detected and text console is just 80×25 chars. So we installed linux-image-4.6.0 from jessie-backports, now the kernel detects the GPU and text console is now at high resolution:

[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20160229 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0
i915 0000:00:02.0: fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device

X.org does not recognize the Intel card and uses a generic Vesa driver; forcing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in this way:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "device1"
    Driver      "intel"
EndSection

no devices are detected, as per /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

The problem is with xserver-xorg-video-intel package: Jessie has the old 2.21.15 version. We need instead the newer 2.99.917 version from jessie-backports or pinning it from Debian Stretch (testing).

Finally we need a newer Mesa library for 3D acceleration. Starting a 3D-aware program with Jessie library will bring the error:

pci id for fd 50: 8086:1902, driver (null)
i965_dri.so does not support the 0x1902 PCI ID.

Just download and install the package libgl1-mesa-dri version 11.1.3 form jessie-backports, which will replace the 10.3.2 version.
