Makes it all even curiouser since the only (EE) messages I saw were relative to the touchpad - disabled in the BIOS so I need to comment it out in xorg.conf - and slightly more to the point (but to be expected) a message where Xorg complains about not being able to initialize the GLX extension.

I innocently thought I wouldn't need any ‘additional capabilities’.. just watching the news once in a while.. no fancy 3D gaming or such like.. And since the ‘nvidia’ driver that comes with lenny does not support my card, I figured installing it was both unnecesssary and asking for trouble. cj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
