And how does that fare as far as nVidia drivers go (assuming you haven't got the Intel integrated option, of course)? I'm using the proprietary driver (*spits*), but have been thinking of switching to the Nouveau ones provided they can drive dual monitors decently. I'm assuming that the proprietary ones in the stable repos are not capable of working with the backports kernel? > There are also some additional tips in other comments on that bug, > regarding overly sensitive touchpads and so on.

I'd love to try the patching etc reasonably soon, I just can't afford the risk of having the machine go down on me just at the moment. Again, thanks for your help. I will look into this and report back. Regards, Ashton Fagg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
