Salve, first thanks for your hints and tips to run X with woody on my laptop. I solved it with a combination of woody's Xfree86-config-4 file and a config file I found in the Internet.
Knoppix is my tip for you to test if laptop hardware is supported. With Knoppix-CD you can start a live system without writing on the hd, automaticaly reconizing hardwardware... - just 2-3 minutes waiting and your system from CD is running. Knoppix show me that my externel USB-Sounddevice U2A from Egosys is running fine :-) What is knoppix? KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html So wouldn't be the skripts from knoppix usefull for Debian, too? greetings, Rob PS: I may sounded angry - but I 100% shure that Debian is the best, and I'm thankfull for all Debian-developer (GNU, Linux developer, too:-) And I'm willing to support free software, too.
