It depends on which drivers you installed. At one point my only Debian install was on an external hard drive and I would boot it from various computers in netcafes. I installed all of the xserver-xorg-video packages and had to change xorg.conf a fair bit. These days xorg is more automagical so it would probably work immediately in more cases. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
