[This message has also been posted to linux.debian.user.] A colleague did a dist-upgrade, sarge to etch, and everything still worked except the X Window System. dpkg-reconfigure left him with "No screens found" X unusable. The standard fix for that, boot Knoppix and use the xorg.conf file it generates, worked, except his mouse was dead.
Turns out the dist-upgrade brought in udev and hal and module-init-tools, but no new kernel image. He was still running the 2.4 Sarge kernel, no udev, no hardware abstraction layer. apt-get install linux-image-2.6-486 update-grub fixed the problem. Is dist-upgrade supposed to bring in the right kernel/initrd? Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
