I waited until I knew I had something until posting. Basically, I had a few problems and, since it was still new, considered it a learning experience. I re-installed Sarge from the net install disc and upgraded to Unstable (when I tried the installer in Unstable, it said it was going to auto-partition the drives, which I did not want to mess with, so I just started with Sarge and upgraded). Then I installed the stock 2.6.15-k7 kernel, added KDE, and tried that. No more jumpy mouse (although scrolling up with the scroll wheel in KDE sometimes selects an item in the window!). I also pulled the sound card to use on another system and re-enabled the sound on the mobo. I figured I wasn't using this particular system for anything high end, so the onboard sound was find. So now that's working fine. I'm down to 3 small problems, which i may post for help when I have time: 1) Kopete won't install without libmeanwhile, which is a virtual package and not available (figure it's a "Sid" thing). 2) When I scroll up (as mentioned) with the scroll wheel, sometimes it selects an item as it starts scrolling. 3) I have a limited number of styles KDE can use and the one I prefer (RiscOS) seems to be installed, but is not available. They're not big items. I've already posted about the one significant problem I'm having. Hal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
