Ouch... that's substantially less pleasant than Omega Oan, with respect to both installation and usability once installed. And also there's a load of magical key combinations that you can't figure on your own. In the end, the only thing I was lacking was a "battery_lid" control that gives a battery meter (a nice thing to have on a laptop...) and notifies about closing/opening the lid. Another minor glitch was the proprietary graphics driver causing visual corruption during scrolling; installing it was pointless as I never once ran a GLES program, I lost track of steps I would need to undo though. If I knew, I'd run entirely free software. In all other regards, it's a regular laptop, just with a badly underpowered CPU. But hey, $150 new for a full-sized laptop, enough for a thin client if you have a server in a hacklab or ssh home. And then you're back to the land of comfortable keyboards and multiple large screens. (Some of you might not hate laptops as much as I do.) [Wookey: those keyboard problems were my fault, I force-unglued stuff inside trying to take a look at the innards; the glue turned out to be structurally important for not letting the keyboard buckle up. I just had to get some glue from a shop in Neuchatel to fix it.] -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
