Thanks for the information Lars.
There is just one other problem--i can't get my
network connection working. The ethernet card is detected on boot but
i just can't seem to be able to get on the network.
Can somebody help me with commands that can help in configuring the network?.

Hi all,
I have the same problem too--i prefer acroread as opposed to gpdf but
can't seem to find it in the current testing versions(i don't think i
could find it in stable either). So i have had to do
without acroread ever since i updated to gnome2.4. Does anyone know
where i could get acroread?

audio output. Can someone
Yes, that was indeed the problem. Thanks!.

Hi all-
I have a Sony PCG FRV-26 laptop running debian with a 2.4.22
kernel. The display card is ATI Radeon which is only supported by
versions of XFree86 4.3 and after. Currently, I have Xfree86 4.2.1 that
comes with the testing versions(i think!) and use the vesa driver for
the display. I have
Does anybody know of functioning backports for xfree86 4.3 and
after?. The ones that i know of don't work anymore. I had problems
compiling xfree864.3 and 4.4 so would prefer using backports. Thanks.

Jay,
To be quite honest, i don't know why the problem occured in the first
place. Initially, I played around with it without any
suceess. Strangely enough, the xfree86 upgrade went smoothly when i tried a
week later which made me think if all this was due to a bug in the package
