Rob, thanks for the config file! I did a quick diff, saw that the only two differences between our setups werre use of the kreame buffer and use of 16 instead of 24-bit color... the color was the culprit. HUGE help! I love debian lists! subsidiary question: do you use an external mouse? my touchpad is either a little sticky, or not configured quite right (I assume the latter, since you reported no problems) -- the left-click button doesn't seem to want to 'MouseUp' most of the time. For fun I tried connecting a random USB mouse to the USB port, but even though the config includes a second "generic mouse" in the server setup (identical to the mouse setup on my desktop, which is where I pulled the mouse in questio from), I couldn't get it to work. Did you have to do anything fancy with the mice, like set up devices or something? thanks again, m
