Hi. I've bought a L3C also. This one is running fine, with a combination of woody + sid's Xfree86. I have no locking in X, whatsoever. The only thing I still miss is DRI that is not working properly (I can't see the gears of glx-gears).
You just need to 1 - install woody 2 - add the source line for sarge/testing (that has the same Xfree that sid/unstable) 3 - apt-get update 4 - install X (will be upgraded if you had already installed the one from woody) 5 - remove the source line for sarge/testing 6 - apt-get update 7 - Install whatever you want more. apt runs fine like this, no dependencies problem. I would advice you to install sinaptics driver for the touchpad, it's great. I'm running kde 2.2.2 without a problem. Klaptoptools is a great add for getting the battery monitor (I think you'll need the apmd also) Now, if you can get the following things, I would like to know how: a) Getting framebuffer to work with a debian kernel. (I've only seen "home-made" kernels doing this) b) Shut the fan down. I really like working at night with no noise.. Are you sure your hardware is ok? I'm having no lockups... good luck! -- Joao Pedro Clemente jpcl @ rnl.ist.utl.pt (when not working out) (when not sleeping) (when not surfing) (when not ... ;)
