> -- hendrik I dist-upgraded from sarge to etch and went thru the same pains. I boxed with xserver-org for an hour and got all beat up. Finally, i opted to move to sid, but i did not like it, at least it was working, something that did not happened with etch, my spanish keyboard did not work right, eventhough i did countless dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. At this point i was debating if i should wipe everything and go back to installing sarge or etch from scratch but reconfiguring my apps is a PITA. While googling i found this blog, and went from sid back to etch without any problems, - i had nothing to lose - so i'm on etch (the runabout way) and with no problems, my kbd works flawlessly.
