ok, NEWS.Debian.gz: The hotplug package has been disabled and should be manually purged. This makes the following configuration files obsolete: + /etc/hotplug/*.rc and *.agent: the old hotplug files are not used anymore. udev rules may be used to selectively disable coldplugging

Tzafir, I got some laptops here for doing installation s, which were too hot all the time with permanently running fan. (Yes, under Windows.) I think that's happening when they throw a highspeed CPU (and maybe not even mobile ones) into a machine that originally wasn't designed for the hottie.

Have you tried getting/using the 915resolution package? It sounds to me like X may be tickling something that hasn't been set up yet. -Ian (Who has a i855, and hasn't had any real trouble with it.) On Tue, 2006-08-22 at 16:31 +0200, Thomas Zeitzler wrote: > Hi, > > I can't get the resolution of
