No, as I said it was working during the install and wouldn't without the firmware needed which was, non-free. I know what I'm doing and was able to enable it. The point I'm making is that a novice user would have been lost - Xfce4 isn't the most user friendly UI. That's why GNOME-Shell should be the default. IMHO Most users are going to be using relatively modern laptops that will run it fine. Hell I've had a 10 year old laptop running Gnome-Shell just fine prior. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
