Hi folks After the mobile phone nightmare, I finally decided and got the motorola c350. Thanks a lot for all your help. The mobile I got is cheap, it works, and comes with an excellent flat rate by vodafone that allows 24h gprs connection at 20 Euro a month. Also, the usb cable, being a normal cabl

libGLcore problems

Hi guys. This is not a laptop specific problem, but it's quite important. I have debian testing installed on a Compaq presario 700 and kernel 2.6 (and 2.4.22) self-compiled. Everything (rather) pretty much works. However, today, I did apt-get dist-upgrade and it upgraded quite a few packages. Am
