Re: problems configuring X on my Dell laptop
i can't see vesa configuration in your XF86Config, you say that used dpkg-reconfigure, it creates XF86Config-4 , maybe xfree is reading your XF86Config-4 and not XF86Config.

Re: Computer freezes frequently. What is wrong?
Hello, I have had similar problems with Debian kernels post 2.6.5. I am running these kernels on a IBM Thinkcenter (I think a M50). The computer runs fine for a while after rebooting, but as soon as its left idle for a while, the computer slows down to a crawl. After that every keyboard or mouse click take 10-15s to process. Rebooting was so slow that I had to do a hard reset. But kernels previous to 2.6.5 work fine, and the 2.4 series kernels run excellent.

PLEASE HELP ME !!! GOOD PEOPLE
From: Mr. Alhaji Kamoru. 436th Kesington Osborne Court Rd, Sydenham SE26 5EQ London, England. tel.44-7040117705 (Vodafone) As a regard I am the above named person and now undergoing a medical treatment in London, England. I am married to Mrs. Ramota Kamoru who worked with British Railway Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before she died on 5th of July in the year 2003. We were married for fifteen years without a child. She died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before her death she made a vow to use her wealth for the down trodden and the less priviledged in the society. Since her death, I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside our matrimonial home. When my late wife was alive she deposited the sum of £10 Million (Ten Million Pounds sterling) in a Vault with a Security/Finance House in UK. Presently, this money is still there. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 150 days due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an individual that will use this fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and above all those affected in the Tsunami in far Asia. I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my wife relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my wife's hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late wife did not specify. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Almighty. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my wife's relatives around me always. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security/Finance House in UK. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund, through my Lawyer. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein. Hoping to hear from you. Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.

Check with 'top' the average cpu usage after using the computer for a while. What i'm trying to find is exessive cpu usage, and thus cpu heating. Try to run the computer with out X for a while and see it the computer don't slow down. Run memtest for 24hours, just to be on the safe side. I have seen something related to toshiba at the kernel compilation, but debian stock kernel already include that. Worth a check. good luck kfir pgpW6nUcYqwVS.pgp Description: PGP signature
Newby wireless
Hello, A good friend a few months ago dual-installed debian on this here laptop. I am now wondering about getting wireless on it. Here's the stats: I live in Austin, TX, USA. I don't know much about computer navigation (a flaw I've been told is bad for a newby with Debian). I have a: Netgear WG511U Double 108 Mbps Wireless Card, and a Dell Inspiron 5150.

Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Clement There are several components to the question you ask. Like are wireless options enabled in the kernel that is installed? Are the wireless-tools installed with an apt-get session. What driver is needed for the card and is there a native driver for it or do you have to go to a thing like ndiswrapper or linuxant. You may want to do some searches on google for that card and add Linux as a search criteria and see what people use with that card. The important parts are the chipset on the card, whether there is a native linux driver for it, what wireless options are enabled in the kernel on the debian build, etc. I think its gonna take a bit of investigation on your part to see the driver options, whether you need to recompile a kernel to get wireless support, installing the wireless-tools, etc. I did a basic search on google here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Netgear+WG511U+linux&btnG=Search You may want to read on in the search and see how different people have solved the problem with the card, etc. One of the first links goes into some detail on the chipset on this particular card, what others are trying to get it work, etc. Happens to be on Ubuntu which is a debian derivative distribution so it may be a bit relevant. -- Michael Perry | do or do not.
