Thanks. I've been unable to install the driver. Would I have to get
that straight from Debian? See below for the missing dependencies.
Looking at the task manager in XCFE and top in the shell, the RAM and
swap usage eventually start to climb more and more rapidly until >99% of
RAM is in use and >99% of swap. Then the machine locks up, mouse
pointer last.
Another way to trigger a lock-up 100% of the time is to run qemu for
anything.
