Taking your advice, I installed Debian 'lenny' instead of 'etch'. I had a weird glitch during the install, because after a certain point my screen went wonky and I only managed to get through it by hitting enter whenever I thought I saw a prompt. Fortunately, the install completed, the driver works, and I'm posting this message from my laptop. I hope I didn't hurt any settings that I'll find myself needing in the future, but I believe it was all just configuration options at that point. Many thanks for your help, Johannes and Kent. This may not be the last of me, but I hope I'll be able to function on my own for a while. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
