I have an L400 which uses the same touchpad. Are you having trouble in X or in Console mode? I found that if GPM was running while in X the touchpad went crazy, so you might want to disable that. Hope that helps. - Geoff On Fri, 8 Feb 2002, Jesse Rhodes wrote: > I have a Dell Latitude LS wi

try this: apt-get install locales and select en_US ISO8859-1 (or add "en_US ISO-8859-1" to /etc/locale.gen manually) and run "locale-gen" hope it can resolve your problem -- Best Regards, Carlos Z.F. Liu

Thanks for the suggestion; I did have locales installed and thus configured, but I tried reconfiguring and regenerating as per your suggestion. I also tried playing with a few different settings for default locale and what locales to generate; unfortunately I still get the gdk-warning: Gdk-WARNI

only problems might be: if you mess up with lilo, and install it in the wrong place, you could corrupt the system so that the win system may be unbootable. There's documentation in the lilo docs about this. You could either use debian or redhat to boot with, but I'd think that you'd want to be re

Sound on Thinkpad 770E

Hello. :) I've installed Debian (Woody) on a used Thinkpad 770E I just bought. Everything works beautifully; X+KDE is running surprisingly quickly at 1024x768. :) The only thing I can't figure out is the sound. I've read that the 770 (no E) uses the cs4232 module, and that the 770E needs Alsa'
