I was dismissive of this when I first read it. Since then I tried a Debian live CD and found the same problem, lending more credence to your recommendation. The question(s) now become: 1) which kernel? the latest 2.6 or the 3.0? Any conflicts with choosing the 3.0? Libraries? 2) Which Xorg? xorg_7.5+8+squeeze1_i386.deb? -- Bob Holtzman If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer. Key ID: 8D549279
