I 'll say that Debian detect correctly the hardware on my laptob (Dell Aspire 9100). Except, it seems, video card ATI Radeon x600 for which I had to install different stuffs fglrx and ati as it was not able to do 3D. But I'm not sure about that because I have the feeling that 3D support is in fact not included in the standard etch reposititories (but I might be wrong on this last asumption...)
