My Pavilion DM1 has a ATA TOSHIBA MQ01ABD0 (scsi) 750GB hard disk and a Ralink RT3290 bluetooth/wireless chip. Graphic chipset is the same as yours.
I have never noted a noise (click) other than the beep during shutdown. I have had sound problems in the past with XFCE that did not recognize sound control keys and Pulseaudio that produced more or less distorted sound until the HDMI output is deactivated. For the graphic card, I am using the radeon free driver. I have tested the fglrx non-free driver provided by Debian without seeing a clear improvement for my use, so I stick to the free driver. I have never tested the non-free drivers provided by AMD. Mainly due to the RT3290 chipset I use Unstable|Sid rather than Stable|Wheezy. Wireless part of the RT3290 is working from Wheezy-Backports onward. Bluetooth part is not working yet. I would rather use the Stable version of Debian on this laptop but even the next Stable (Jessie) will probably not support bluetooth for the RT3290 chipset. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
