Dear Juan, I have tried your suggestion. I installed the the proprietary driver again. It worked but there was a kernel bug, so I uninstalled it and installed only the opensource driver, following your 2 links. Hope that my desktop won't freeze again Thank you, Hoang -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
